The system will provide approximately 374,770kWh of electricity production annually. The solar system is expected to allow the complex to reduce energy costs, delivering an estimated $52,000 in annual electricity cost savings.
Solar Power has designed and installed systems for other affordable housing developers including Community HousingWorks’ Solara development in Poway, California. Other developers utilizing Solar Power systems include Interfaith Housing, Wakeland Housing, MacFarlane Costa, BRIDGE Housing, and the Monterey County Housing Authority.
The company was engaged by Wermers, the general contractor for the San Sevaine Villas project, to design and build the solar system incorporated into the complex’s parking shade structure.
Bradley Ferrell, president of business development at Solar Power, said: “We have a successful history of producing solar systems for the affordable housing industry. We look forward to working with the team at Wermers Companies again to help the project owner, Northtown Housing Corporation, deliver a low-cost energy solution to its residents.”
