BREG - PVN is currently developing four combined solar and battery storage projects on two adjacent closed brownfield sites (landfills) in the California Bay area, of which two have successfully advanced to the development phase. Site assessment calculations performed by BREG indicate that these two projects have a combined potential for a 10.5 MW.
Commercial operations for the two projects are anticipated to begin by Q2 2026, offering an attractive proposition for investors, including tax equity investors and financial institutions, seeking involvement in renewable energy projects. San Francisco Bay Solar is poised to deliver long-term value through stable and reliable energy production.
Project Overview
- Location: San Francisco Bay Area
- Capacity: 10.5 MWdc
- Annual Power Generation: 18.2 GWh
- Technology: Solar, Trackers, Bifacial panels
- Target NTP: Q1 2025
- Target COD: Q2 2026
Key Features
- Energy Output: These solar farms are projected to generate approximately 18 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually. In Phase II of the project, battery storage will be included.
- Environmental Impact: These projects will offset 7600 tons of CO2 emissions annually, contributing to local climate action and sustainability goals.
- Repurpose Landfills: We remediate and transform these otherwise unusable acreage into renewable energy hubs, thus adding both sustainable and economic value.
Outcome
Transforming these sites into expansive solar farms not only contributes to a more sustainable environment but also creates additional revenue streams for landowners. By repurposing landfills, we help to:
- Positively impact the environment and society
- Secure a profitable investment opportunity
- Establish a reliable, renewable energy source for future generations
