October 1, 2012 — December 31, 2012
Grantee: Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, Inc.
Project Name: Kaltag Solar Construction
Grant M 7040049 Z
i
Period of Report: October 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012
Project Activities Completed:
• Invoices for equipment rental and gravel were researched and settled
• Change orders were processed for providing a substitute inverter at AVEC's cost
• An Elster meter was delivered and installed to record output and usage
beginning about September 15, 2012.
• The array is pitched to its winter vertical setting. KWH output recorded as follows:
September (partial month) 120
October 186
November 60
December 8
Existing or Potential Problems:
Connectivity and phone services provided by others to the area limit the ability
to transfer data. An inverter fan needs to be replaced but is not critical until array
output increases with increased sunlight.
Activities Targeted for Next/Future Reporting Period:
Receive training and O&M documentation from installer. The installer would like
to conduct the on -site training when the array is due to be pitched to its summer
seasonal angle. This could be late 1Q2013 or early 2Q2013.
Consider methods to improve data communication. Replace inverter fan.
Process all Close out documentation for the project.
