By Greentech Lead Team: GreenVolts, provider of integrated solar system, announced
the completion of a 496 kW project for the McKinley campus in San Dimas,
California.
West Hills Construction worked
closely with McKinley to design a system that conformed best to the layout,
landscaping, and use requirements of the campus.
The GreenVolts modular design and
distributed inverter architecture enabled the system to be installed in three
separate sections, including an unused portion of the property adjacent to the
highway, and a raised section that also serves as a shade for an outside lunch
area. The project is expected to offset up to 100 percent of the
Center’s annual electricity use.
“To be chosen as a partner in this
project by organizations with the reputations and accomplishments of McKinley
Children’s Center and West Hills Construction is an honor. That solar energy
can help McKinley further its contribution to the community is a source of
pride for GreenVolts and a positive for the industry,” said David
Gudmundson, CEO of GreenVolts.
West Hills Construction will operate
and maintain the system, using the GreenVolts ISIS energy management software
which offers in-depth monitoring and control from anywhere on the Internet.
“Through a very diligent design
process, the GreenVolts system was the only integrated photovoltaic solution
that accomplished meeting McKinley’s goals of electric savings and children’s
safety, while working around pre-existing problematic site conditions and
architecture requirements,” said Rusty Wood, vice president of West Hills
Construction.
GreenVolts recently launched the
industry’s first complete and fully integrated solar system, including modules,
trackers, inverters, and energy management software.
