Project Datasheet Cuyama Solar Project Cuyama, California, USA Developer: Size: First Solar Single-Axis Tracker Power Output For: ~16,000 average California homes 30,000 metric tons per year* CO 2 Displacement: ~ (~ 6,000 cars off the road) Project Timeline 2009-2010 Planning Permitting Construction Operation Located on 327 acres of previously disturbed land 40MW (AC) of clean, renewable power The project will support California in reaching its goal of having one-third of its energy come from renewable sources. The project is currently in the permitting phase. This phase includes the creation of the Environmental Impact Report and public hearings in Santa Barbara County. Once permitting is complete, construction will begin. An average of 200 jobs created during construction No water used to generate electricity Minimal noise Legend Legend Project Site Proposed 70kV Generation-Tie Line Interconnection Point Project Site First Solar is developing a 40 megawatt (MW) alternating current (AC) solar project located on 327 acres of previously disturbed farmland in the Cuyama Valley, located in Santa Barbara County, California. When fully operational, the Cuyama Solar Project will generate enough clean solar energy to serve the needs of approximately 16,000 average California homes, displacing over 30,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually*–the equivalent of taking about 6,000 cars off the road. * CO2 displacement based on PG&E grid 01511_DS_23APR14 | © Copyright 2014, First Solar, Inc.

First Solar is committed to working with the residents and community members of the Cuyama Valley and Santa Barbara County as it plans the Cuyama Solar Project. Our goal is to collaborate with the local residents to build a project that benefits the community and is one of which we all can be proud. First Solar projects have a low environmental impact. When in operation, our systems generate electricity with no air emissions, no waste production, and no water use, and have the smallest carbon footprint of any PV technology. The solar panels for the Cuyama Solar Project will stand no higher than...
