Poultry Processor Chooses Clean Solar Thermal Power
Under a tight deadline to begin construction last year on a solar thermal system for a poultry processing plant, North Carolina-based FLS Energy received construction funds at the end of September, strove to find American-made steel pipe and solar panels to start construction in October, and activated the project’s first two phases in December. The construction timeline put the Prestage Foods project safely within the qualification parameters for a Section 1603 cash grant in lieu of renewable energy investment tax credits (ITCs).
