Brandywine Community Solar Garden

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Project Name

Brandywine Community Solar Garden Program, Prince George’s County, MD.

 

General Project Overview

What was worked on?

  • Solar Field

Size of system: 

    • DC: 1.053 Mw
    • AC: 8.75 Mw

 

Description

Gordian Energy Systems completes a new solar project for Southern Maryland!

Located just outside of Washington, D.C. the Brandywine County solar field will produce enough electricity to offset a Megawatt worth of local consumer’s power needs. A unique complement to the array? A multiple layered bee sanctuary built inside the solar farm site! Clean power and nature renewal, with a little honey produced with the power.

Upperco Community Solar Garden Program

Project Name

Upperco Community Solar Garden Program, Baltimore County, MD.

 

General Project Overview

What was worked on?

  • Solar Field

Size of system: 

    • DC: 2,139 Kw
    • AC: 1,879 Kw
    • Over 4,800 solar panels

 

Description

This project is located in western Baltimore County, close to Carroll County. Sited closely to the Baltimore and Carroll county lines, the Upperco solar project was a larger sized project for the area, creating some additional challenges for the Gordian team.  Interestingly, the project used Bifacial solar modules, providing additional output.

Description

  • DC = 1.458 MW
  • AC = 1.0 MW
  • Number of modules = 3,888

In addition to the solar array, Gordian planted more than 200 trees and built a long access road to finish out a great project.

Minnesota Community Solar Garden program – Cornillie, MN

Project Name

Minnesota Community Solar Garden program – Cornillie, MN

 

General Project Overview

  • DC = 1.416 MW
  • AC = 1 MW

 

Description

The Cornille site was a dream for the team. The field was generally flat, and the soil was sandy. This provided for both little grading of the site, and easy panel installation. We enjoyed a pretty easy one here!

Minnesota Community Solar Garden Program – Goodhue, MN

Project Name

Minnesota Community Solar Garden Program, Goodhue MN

 

General Project Overview

  • DC = 1.416 MW
  • AC = 1 MW

 

Description

The entire field is covered with drain tile or grid, creating a challenging constrain for our team. The drain tile removes water from the field. The site also had an area of protected wetlands that caused our team to design the array to both produce the needed power and protect the environmental integrity of the site.

Despite extreme conditions, the Gordian Energy Systems delivered the project on time and on budget.

Minnesota Community Solar Garden Program – Eichtens MN

Project Name

Minnesota Community Solar Garden Program, Eichtens MN

 

General Project Overview

  • DC = 1.416 MW
  • AC = 1 MW

 

Description

The Eichtens site was full of challenges for our team. Previous to our installation, there were steep hills and erosion control challenges due to creeks and storm water. This required extensive grading as well as storm water management systems. With planning and innovative thinking our team pulled together this project to deliver on time and on budget for our client.

Dakota County Solar Garden

 

Project Name

Dakota County Solar Garden Program

 

General Project Overview

  • DC = 1.441 MW
  • AC = 1.000 MW
  • Fixed tile racking with string inverters.

 

Description

The solar garden was completed in the Spring of 2020. The project is providing subscribers with clean, renewable energy in southeast Minnesota, supporting the State’s energy goals.

Byron Community Solar Garden

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Project Name

Minnesota Community Solar Garden Program – Byron, Minnesota

 

General Project Overview

  • DC = 1.416 MW
  • AC = 1.00 MW
  • Fixed tilt solar racking with string inverters.

 

Description

This solar garden was built in the winter of 2019 with the predictable winter challenges of Minnesota. Snow, cold and wind created tough working conditions. Our team’s determination and problem solving allowed us to provide the client their system on time and on budget.  We also worked to keep the community informed on the progress of the project.

Today, the project is producing a steady flow of clean, renewable energy for the local community and is visually a work of art.
