Garlic Solar Project, Gilroy, CA
The 125 MW Utility-Scale Solar PV Farm was developed as a stand-alone generation facility across approximately 500 acres of flat terrain, designed to deliver reliable, clean energy to the regional grid. The project deployed over 300,000 high-performance monocrystalline bifacial modules mounted on single-axis tracker systems to maximize energy production. Our team led the full EPC scope, including grading and civil works, installation of driven steel pile foundations, tracker and module installation, medium voltage collection systems, SCADA integration, and grid interconnection at a new on-site substation. The project utilized over 600 miles of DC and MV cabling and incorporated state-of-the-art central inverters from industry-leading manufacturers. More than 450,000 labor hours were logged, employing hundreds of skilled trades across electrical, civil, and mechanical disciplines. Stringent quality control and environmental mitigation measures were applied throughout construction. The project now provides clean power to over 30,000 homes and offsets an estimated 180,000 metric tons of CO₂ emissions per year. Overall project cost: $142,000,000
