About 1.5MW (DC) of zero-emission electricity will be provided by the PV rooftop solar arrays that are in operation at Bald Eagle Middle and High School, Wingate Elementary School, Bellefonte Area High School, Marion Walker Elementary School and Pleasant Gap Elementary School.
Smart Energy Capital, together with its strategic partner Tremco Roofing, developed the rooftop PV projects for both school districts, which included securing Pennsylvania solar energy grants and arranging the sale of solar renewable energy certificates.
INDU Solar, a 50-50 joint venture between Duke Energy Renewables and Integrys Energy Services, financed all of the construction costs for the solar power projects.
Under a 20-year power purchase agreement with a project company owned by INDU, the central Pennsylvania school districts are purchasing all of the output from their respective PV systems.
Duke Energy Renewables is engaged in developing wind and solar energy solutions for customers throughout the US.
Integrys Energy Services provides energy supply solutions, structured products, and strategies.
Smart Energy Capital is engaged in the financing and development of solar energy projects.
