Phoenix Solar provided all engineering services, procured a portion of the components, and managed the construction of the solar facility.
The ground-mount solar facility is expected to generate approximately 1,000 MWh of electricity per year, offsetting approximately 5% of the total electricity used at Morgan Stanley’s building, and up to 25% during peak production. The solar project required the installation of more than 3,000 solar panels.
"The successful and on-time completion of this solar installation for Morgan Stanley, a leading global financial services firm, demonstrates our strong commitment to partner with industry leaders throughout North America to deliver cost efficient and sustainable solar energy," said Dr. Murray Cameron, CEO and president of US-based Phoenix Solar and executive board member of parent company Phoenix Solar AG.
Other large solar projects completed in the U.S. by Phoenix Solar have included a 38.6- megawatt solar facility in Georgia and a 9.5-megawatt ground-mount solar park at the LEED Platinum =Volkswagen auto plant in Tennessee — the largest solar facility at an auto factory in the United States. Among its other recent projects, Phoenix Solar has installed solar facilities throughout the US including parking canopies, custom designed top level parking garage systems, as well as rooftop and ground mounted facilities.
