Real Goods Solar designed, installed and engineered the solar power system, which include 405 SunPower and 2,216 Sharp solar panels.
The energy generated by the facility is expected to reduce the complexes’ common area electricity use by over 75% on average and the Authority’s electricity use by 15%.
The solar system was funded using federal Housing and Urban Development Green Communities stimulus funds and energy and redevelopment tax credits.
Developed by Sunwheel Energy Partners, the project will create about 777,000kWh of energy a year.
