Solar Frontier announces 20MW+ of projects with Cypress Creek Renewables

Tokyo-based Solar Frontier – the largest manufacturer of CIS (copper indium selenium) thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solar modules – has been chosen to supply its modules for a series of projects developed and financed by Cypress Creek Renewables, the largest and fastest-growing dedicated provider of local solar farms in the USA. 

The three projects total over 20MW in size and are located in and around Terre Haute, IN, USA. Vaughn Industries (one of the USA's leading electrical/mechanical contractors) has been chosen as engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor. Construction has begun on the first two projects, Pastime and McDonald, which Solar Frontier announced last October. The new third project, Sullivan, is currently in the pre-construction phase.

"Cypress Creek Renewables has chosen Solar Frontier for these projects because of our CIS modules' strong performance in low light conditions – common to this region of the country – and ultimately its ability to outperform crystalline in real-world conditions," says Solar Frontier Americas' chief operating officer Charles Pimentel.   

"Solar Frontier's CIS technology met or exceeded our performance requirements, yielding the best economics and financial returns for our projects," notes Cypress Creek Renewables' CEO Matt McGovern.
