In the past SunPower and many other mega-PV developers have sold projects long before completion – as SunPower did with MidAmerican and its 579MW Solar Star projects (formerly known as Antelope Valley).
But the company will increasingly hold onto projects for longer – in some cases through the end of construction, and increasingly into operation as an independent power producer, SunPower executives explained in a conference call.
SunPower currently has 517MW of PV capacity on its own books, including the under-construction Henrietta and Quinto mega-projects in the US (rated at 100MW and 110MW each, respectively) and 172MW of residential capacity built up via its solar-leasing arm.
