Solar Electric Supply, Inc. and P&R Technologies Power Ten West Link Transmission Line Project
$1.2 Million Contract Delivers 110 MAPPS Solar Obstruction Utility LED Lighting Systems
January, 23, 2023
Scotts Valley, CA, - Solar Electric Supply, INC (SES), a leading solar energy solutions provider, and its partner P&R Technologies have been awarded a $1.2 million contract to deliver 110 MAPPS solar obstruction utility LED lighting systems for the Ten West Link 500kV Transmission Line Project. SES & P&R successfully completed the contract, supplying the critical lighting infrastructure for the 125-mile project spanning Arizona and California.
The Ten West Link 500kV Transmission Line Project sponsored by DCR Transmission, plays a vital role in enhancing power reliability and facilitating renewable energy integration in the region. The project connects multiple large solar farms along the corridor to the 500kW line, with the Arizona terminus connecting to the Delaney Substation 500 kV bus (owned by APS) and the California terminus linking to the Colorado River 500 kV bus (owned by SCE).
Solar Electric Supply was a great partner in this project, said Parker Osgood, representative of P&R Technologies. "They delivered the systems on schedule and assisted with the deployment logistics, making it easier for the installation crews to rapidly install the systems.

SES supplied 110 of their MAPPS Model MAPPS-400-324-24-120 a custom 400-watt solar system featuring a 324 amp-hour sealed gel battery and a 120 VAC sine wave inverter. These systems, made in the USA, satisfy Buy America and ARRA requirements and feature remote wireless monitoring for this critical application. SES also provided on-site training for the installation contractors during the initial phase, ensuring a smooth and efficient deployment process.
The project's success is a testament to the collaboration between SES, P&R Technologies Irby (a subsidiary of Sonepar specializing in electrical distribution to the utility industry) and DCR Transmission. The new transmission line is expected to keep ratepayer costs low, as utilities will save millions of dollars annually due to their increased access to power markets. Furthermore, renewable energy developers have already submitted nearly 5,000 MW of interconnection requests for the project, which will provide economic opportunities and thousands of jobs to rural Arizona communities hosting new solar generation resources.
Vice President Kamala Harris Highlights Ten West Link Project
On January 23, 2023, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at the groundbreaking event for the Ten West Link transmission line in Tonopah, Arizona. In her remarks, Vice President Harris emphasized the importance of investing in clean energy infrastructure and the role of projects like Ten West Link in creating jobs and combating the climate crisis. "The Ten West Link transmission line will stretch from Arizona to California," said Vice President Harris. "It will deliver electricity from wind and solar farms out here in the desert, to big cities like Phoenix and Los Angeles and San Diego, and to rural communities like Blythe and Quartzsite. This electricity will be clean electricity." The Vice President also noted the economic benefits of the project, stating, "More transition to transmission lines means more clean energy for our communities. And that means more money in the pocket of the American people, more money to buy groceries, to invest in home repairs, to pay for your kid's college, and to save for your retirement."
