Document Description
The Gray Lodge Wildlife Area Solar Project (Proposed Project) is a solar Photovoltaic power generation
system that would include 468 ground-mounted solar arrays that would occupy 35,000 square feet. The
Proposed Project will convert sunlight to Direct Current electrical power that would then be converted to
Alternating Current by string inverters before being delivered to the PG&E distribution system. The total
system is expected to be approximately 204 kilowatts. The Proposed Project would support energy
reduction goals, the Global Warming Solutions Act, and Governor’s Green Building Order S-20-04.
