地面式太陽能裝置
ForeFront Power 於一間水處理廠部署 Erthos Solar
ForeFront Power 於 Fresno 市東北地表水處理廠，正式啟用其首個 Erthos 地面安裝太陽能系統，進入商業運作階段。此設計將太陽能板直接置於地面，省去傳統地面安裝系統所需的結構鋼架，並降低項目開發成本。
ForeFront Power 將節省下來的成本，透過一份 20 年期購電協議，以較低電費回饋 Fresno 市。自 2026 年 3 月投入商業運作以來，該系統的能源產量平均達預期的 101%，並向市政府輸出 862 兆瓦時電力。維護工作由 ErthBot 負責，這是一款自主運作的尼龍毛刷機械人，每晚清潔太陽能陣列。
此裝置是 Fresno 公共事業部轄下三個地點、總容量達 27 兆瓦（直流電）太陽能及儲電項目組合的一部分。預計此項目組合將於 2045 年前為用戶節省超過 1.22 億美元電費開支。
英文原文
ForeFront Power achieved commercial operation of its first Erthos Earth Mount Solar system at the City of Fresno’s Northeast Surface Water Treatment Plant. The design places solar modules directly on the ground, eliminating the structural steel racking used in traditional ground-mounted systems and reducing project development costs.
ForeFront Power passed those savings on to Fresno through lower electricity rates under a 20-year power purchase agreement. Since entering commercial operation in March 2026, the system has averaged 101% of expected energy production and delivered 862 MWh to the city. Maintenance is handled by ErthBot, an autonomous nylon-brush robot that cleans the array nightly.
The installation is part of a broader 27 MW-DC solar and battery storage portfolio across three Fresno Department of Public Utilities sites. The portfolio is expected to save more than $122 million in ratepayer costs by 2045.
