Solar Panel Projects

Reliable Logistics Service for clean energy

Proline Helped Solar power developer SunEdison on hundreds of projects in the past, just like some examples:

Regulus Project:

On Wednesday celebrated its new, $300 million photovoltaic plant generating 60 megawatts on 663 acres northeast of Lamont. Opened in November, the Regulus Solar plant at 13651 E. Panama Lane generates enough electricity to power about 25,000 average California homes. Local dignitaries speaking at an early afternoon ceremony at the plant included a representative of the Rosedale-Rio Bravo Water Storage District, which sold SunEdison 660 acres that will serve as a kind of land swap required under the project's government approval. Project construction, begun in January 2014 and ended Nov. 11 of last year, provided about 530 jobs at peak employment. It now employs about eight full-time workers. Southern California Edison has signed an agreement to buy that power for 20 years. It and other investor-owned utilities in the state are required to receive one-third of their power from renewable sources by 2020. Proline Distribution Services Inc – A leading 3pl provider in Southern California, managed the whole Regulus Project with their vendors including freight, receiving, warehousing, cross docking, trucking, coordinating with varies party including Sun Edison, Sun Edison project vendor, project managers, project supervisors, project planners, project inspectors, project auditing team, project financing department, also trucking team, warehousing team, freight team, intermodal team, brokerage team etc to complete the whole project.

Davis Monthan Air Force base project:

Construction of the largest solar energy array in the U.S. Air Force will begin at the end of June on Tucson's Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. The project is expected to save the base $500,000 per year in energy costs.

The cost of installing and maintaining the solar array is the responsibility of Sun Edison, the company building the project, said Greg Noble, Davis-Monthan's energy manager. Sun Edison representatives declined to comment on the cost of the project.  

The 14.5-Megawatt Photo Voltaic Array Project will see 57,000 solar panels cover two sites on 170 acres of unusable land on base, Noble said. The project is expected to be fully operational by mid-December. The project was originally expected to be completed in 2011, but saw multiple delays. There were several issues that involved regulatory compliance, project funding and contract issues, Noble said. He said that these types of delays were to be expected in projects of this scale.  To put the 14.5 megawatts in perspective, one megawatt of electricity can power, on average, 1,000 homes for one year. The base currently pays 8.6 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity, but the rate for the power supplied from the solar array will be 4.5 cents, Noble said. That rate is projected to increase by 1.5 percent per year.  The solar arrays will be provided and operated by Sun Edison under a 25-year lease. Tucson Electric Power now provides electricity to Davis-Monthan; after the completion of the new solar project the entire base will be drawing power from both TEP and Sun Edison.
