Clean Focus Completes Multi-Megawatt Solar Power System in Adelanto, California

Clean Focus, a leading solar power developer, owner and operator, announced the completion of a new 3.75 MW solar project in the City of Adelanto, CA. The ground-mounted system, interconnected in late January, received its certificate of occupancy yesterday. 
 
“Clean Focus is very pleased to be bringing our latest solar project online,” said Clean Focus CEO Stanley Chin.  “We continue to demonstrate the value of repurposing sites for solar power installations.  This industrial land was underutilized, not unlike many of the landfill sites where we own and operate solar.  We strove to strike a balance between installing a significant capital project and preserving the natural beauty of the high desert.  This solar project delivers a number of benefits to Adelanto, including hundreds of local jobs and clean, reliable electricity.  Adelanto faces a higher than average unemployment rate, and through our Green Energy Regional Center we were able to utilize funds dedicated to investing for job creation in areas of high unemployment.” 
 
Construction financing was provided by Seminole Financial Services; Sol Construction led building efforts, and MPE Consulting served as lead engineer. “It was a pleasure to work with Clean Focus, MPE Consulting and our partners on this project,” said Manuel Andrade, President of Sol Construction. “We’re proud to have flexed our extensive construction expertise to build this magnificent 3.75 MW project.” 
 
The Adelanto project, sited on 20 acres in Adelanto, California, will generate 7,156,000 kW hours of clean electricity a year thus reducing CO2 emissions by 4,934 tons — the equivalent of removing more than 1,040 passenger vehicles from the road.  Clean Focus, which developed, financed, owns and operates the solar power system, worked with the City of Adelanto to develop this project.  The project sells electricity to Southern California Edison under the California Renewable Energy Small Tariff (CREST) program.
