US clean energy contractor CS Energy has completed a 4.5MW solar project installed with a 3.8 megawatt-hour (MWh) lithium-ion battery system on a landfill cap site in Massachusetts.
The solar-plus-storage system has been developed as part of a partnership between the City of Amesbury and New England-based developer and financier Kearsarge Energy.
The Amesbury project, which went live in January 2020, is expected to produce 5600MWh of electricity annually.
CS Energy director of energy storage Sean Harrington said: “CS Energy has a significant market share in the solar-plus-storage business.
“We are strategically scaling up our energy storage division and growing our register of successfully completed projects.
“Our background and experience in landfill solar enable us to foresee challenges and expedite projects. It’s another testament to our energy storage team’s capabilities and dedication.”
The project was one of the first solar plus energy storage projects to participate in the Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) Program.
