The system will be installed by EI Solutions, on RayTracker GC single-axis solar trackers.
According to national metric data provided by the Environmental Protection Agency, the solar system is expected to reduce carbon emissions by over 1,300 metric tons annually, which is equivalent to removing close to 250 automobiles from operation for one year or preserving over 11 acres of forest.
The new system, based on EI Solutions’s new design, will be installed over a storm water retention area located on the property, allowing for its dual use and providing a buffer to adjacent properties. By protecting the retention function of the area, the design negates the need for a new draining system while at the same time providing a clean, noise-free use of the land and financial savings.
Roger Efird, president of Suntech America, said: We are very pleased that Suntech solar modules have been selected for this project and value our association with the quality of The North Face brand. We look forward to our collaboration with EI Solutions and Recurrent Energy on the innovative design and installation of the project.
