Description
Construction and testing of the Porterville project took about six months. This short construction phase was enabled by over a year of pre-construction planning and experience gained from Southern California Edison's numerous other facilities. Additionally, Porterville City leaders were willing to draft a suitable lease for the land adjacent to the airport on which the project was built. The site was selected because it offered suitable land near distribution circuits that could support a large amount of solar power without the need for major upgrades.
