Warning: new project contains nuts

Cenergy Power, a unit of BAP Power Corp, has completed a 586kW solar photovoltaic (PV) system for almond processor Hughson Nut at its 50,000ft 2 processing facility in California, US. The 586kW solar PV system is expected to produce over 970,000kWh of solar energy annually for the blanching, dry roasting and cutting lines that produce sliced, slivered, diced and milled almonds. The energy produced is said

to be equivalent to removing about 730 tons of CO 2 from the atmosphere. Cenergy Power will provide scheduled operations and maintenance for the system for ten years. Hughson Nut principal, Martin Pohl, said, “Cenergy Power did a great job on an initial 504kW solar project for a related nut hulling business over a year ago, so we were very confident in their capabilities on this second solar project.”
