Nexamp Inc. said Monday it has finished the largest solar photovoltaic installation on Cape Cod at Oyster Harbors Marine in Osterville.

The 57-kilowatt array consists of 276 solar panels on top of the marina’s 20,000 square foot boat storage facility. The company estimates the solar array could power seven homes and will pay for itself in less than five years.

“If there was more room, we could have put up even more solar panels. We’re extremely excited about this project,” said Ron Silva, president of Oyster Harbors Marine, in a statement.

Nexamp. a North Andover-based renewable energy systems installer, completed the project in early July and will officially unveil it at a ceremony Aug. 13.
