In the past, SunPower typically sold its utility-scale projects before they reached commercial operation, such as the 250MW California Valley Solar Ranch (CVSR), which was acquired by NRG in 2011, two years before commissioning. That strategy allowed SunPower to realise development and EPC revenues sooner.
With Quinto, however, SunPower intends to take a different tack, retaining ownership at least through construction – and perhaps into the operational phase.
