Online, June 22, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Project Navigator, Ltd. (PNL), via its solar power projects development group, PVNavigator (PVN), has entered into a lease option agreement with the County of San Bernardino to evaluate and explore the development of a photovoltaic (PV) solar facility at the Barstow Sanitary Landfill located in Barstow, CA. The facility is planned to be sized at 10 to 20MW (AC). Power is expected to be sold to Southern California Edison to assist the utility meet its renewable portfolio goals. This is the second lease option agreement that PNL has entered into with the County of San Bernardino this year. The first one was for a 2MW development located at the Big Bear Sanitary Landfill.

PNL has fourteen years of experience in the reuse of closed landfills. These capabilities have been integrated with PNL's more recently developed solar power expertise, under PVNavigator, to negotiate, engineer, finance and construct small-scale, landfill-located, distributed solar power projects nationwide.

Ian Webster, Sc. D., president of PNL, commented, "This project moves us one step closer to our goals of developing renewable, solar energy solutions on brownfields and urban-located closed landfills that are otherwise deemed as unusable land." PVN will manage all phases of the Barstow PV solar project including design, permitting, financing and implementation.
The landfill solar project will deliver a local, green source of power to the community, while preserving land resources. With the "site control" option agreement in place, PNL will now enter into work on three fronts; namely, an interconnect application, CEQA compliance and power marketing.
