NOVEL PV ARRAY SYSTEM DESIGN TO ACCELERATE SOLAR DEPLOYMENT, REDUCE LCOE, REDUCE LAND USE COMPETITION, AND INCREASE SITING FLEXIBILITY IN THE SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT, PLANTED SOLAR WILL DEVELOP ADDITIONAL TECHNOLOGY ELEMENTS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT THE COMPANY’S EXISTING ARRAY DESIGN EFFECTIVELY ON SLOPED/UNDULATING SITES, SMALL/IRREGULAR SITES, AND SITES WITH SIGNIFICANT SUB-SURFACE RISKS (SUCH AS BROWNFIELD SITES WITH CONTAMINATED SOIL OR SHALLOW ROCKS). PLANTED SOLAR WILL VALIDATE THESE TECHNICAL ADVANCES ON FULL-SCALE ARRAYS THAT EXHIBIT SOME OF THESE CHARACTERISTICS. (THE ARRAYS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED OUTSIDE THE PROJECT SCOPE BY INDEPENDENT SOLAR PROJECT DEVELOPERS UTILIZING PLANTED SOLAR’S TECHNOLOGY.)
