Quad C

Quad C is a diversified farm that grows a wide variety of field crops and orchards located just east of Colusa. The elevated structures power a series of irrigation wells and farm facilities for the farm. The systems used Canadian Solar panels, ABB Inverters as well as our own Rapid Rack racking system. Rapid Rack eliminates the need for panel clamps, which can potentially cause hot spots or microfractures in the panels. It also supports five-panel widths, reducing the number of rows needed to maximize capacity while minimizing the system's footprint.

Our solar project operations manager, Daniel O’Connell, served as the farm owner’s consultant, assisting with system sizing and design. He also managed the RFP process, working with multiple solar contractors to select the builder. 

Our Solar Operations Director, Kirk Short was the owner and founder of Elite Solar, who was the contractor that was awarded the contract and ultimate built the projects. Kirk and Daniel worked together to commission and interconnect the project to the local utility. Elite Solar also performed the O&M services for the project.
