SOPW | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Aerospace and defence company Aerojet, a division of GenCorp (NYSE: GY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating)
signed a joint agreement with Solar Power Inc (SPI) (OTCBB:SOPW.OB) to
add another 2.4 megawatts to the present solar system installed at

tracking system that moves with the sun's course through the day to
maximise electricity production.
The six megawatt system will cover over 40 acres of the site, using 22
tracking arrays and 29,344 SPI 205 watt photovoltaic modules when
complete, the company stated and added that based on performance
characteristics, the California Energy Commission ranks SPI's module as
the top PV solar module in its class.
SMUD provides low-cost, reliable electricity to Sacramento County and
to a part of Placer County.
