Our second Solar River project (With George Cairo Engineers) is now under way just outside the Wild Horse Casino south of Phoenix. The 1Mw~ power from these solar panels will be used to pump irrigation water throughout the Gila River Indian Community canal system. This pilot project is being built by US Army Corps as a demonstration project. This canal is roughly twice the width as our first project over the San Tan canal. #solarriver

Around May 20'th 2024 the first full-scale Solar River project was installed over the Casa Blanca canal on the Gila River Indian Community lands. This is the first of it's kind in the western hemisphere. The project is comprised pre-fabricated and modular patented structures allowing panel installation time over a flowing canal to be just a few days for a 1.3 MW project. Funding from Biden's IRA via Reclamation. Initial conceptual and scientific research funding to Tectonicus by Department of Energy SBIR research grant with University of Arizona, UC Merced, and PNNL. Engineer of record, George Cairo Engineering, design and patent by Tectonicus. Construction by Straight Arrow Contractors a native-owned company. https://lnkd.in/gavqfc_u

I'm glad to see the frames getting bolted together and prepped to be lifted onto a running, operating canal! We cannot forget the #1 purpose of these canals is to grow food and provide water, so any auxiliary benefit like generating clean energy cannot get in the way! #SolarRiver
Deputy Commissioner Palumbo, Deputy Assistant Secretary Gold, and Governor Lewis from the Gila River Indian Community visited the construction sites of the Reclaimed Water Pipeline and the Solar Panel Over Canals projects. These two projects are a testament to how Tribal Nations are leading in implementing infrastructure solutions to support the health of the Colorado River.
