Flour Corporation (Houston, Texas, US) has chosen Bentek Solar (San Jose, California, US) to supply 1000 VDC ungrounded string combiners and cable harnesses for the entire 170 MW of the Centinela Solar Energy Facility.

Bentek plans to begin shipments to the solar photovoltaic (PV) project in early 2013, which will extend throughout the year. The project is located in Calexico, California, near the US-Mexico border.

"Bentek Solar is extremely pleased to announce that Fluor Corporation has selected us to supply 1000VDC Utility-Scale Ungrounded Disconnect String Combiners along with 7.2M ft in cable harnesses for the 170MW Centinela Solar Energy Facility project," said Bentek Solar Sales and Marketing Executive John Buckley.

"In just the last six months, Bentek Solar has been awarded nearly 500MW of new utility-scale PV projects and has shipped nearly 2GW of balance of system PV products in the last two years."

Developer LS Power (New York, New York, US) announced completion of project financing in September 2012.

Flour will build the plant in two phases, and the entire output of the project will be sold to San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E, San Diego, California, US) through long-term power purchase agreements.
