This project truly exemplifies groSolar’s ability to maximize available space for solar PV placement, using various locations on a single site. This project consists of four separate PV arrays on a corporate campus owned and utilized by a pharmaceutical company, including 925 kW and 293 kW roof mounted ballasted arrays and a 482 kW fixed ground mount array. In total, this project is 1.7 MW in size.
groSolar provided EPC services for this solar PV project for the Burlington, Vermont School District. The system was paid for largely in part by grants from Vermont’s Renewable Energy Resource Center and Federal Treasury Grant 1603. The investment will produce enough solar electricity in the first five years of operation to pay for itself and was built through by way of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Burlington schools will purchase the solar electricity generated by the system,
but the system itself is owned by third party developer, Encore Redevelopment.
At the time of completion, this Solar Farm was the largest solar project in Pennsylvania. The system will generate over 7 million kilowatt hours per year, which is equivalent to the annual energy consumption of 950 homes.
This solar PV project, constructed at Camden County Municipal Utility Authority’s (CCMUA) wastewater treatment plant by groSolar above open wastewater treatment tanks, presented one of the most complicated application types to date in the solar PV industry. The number of EPC firms vying for this project was very limited, given the challenges and sensitivity of this particular site. groSolar was able to complete this project without interfering with normal plant operations.
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) is helping to keep the Green Mountains green with a 100.1 kW solar array. This array was the largest photovoltaic array in the state of Vermont at the time it went online and was made possible through an innovative partnership between Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, the state of Vermont, Green Mountain Power and groSolar. groSolar Co-founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Jeff Wolfe says “Vermont’s tax incentives for commercial solar systems, coupled with grants from the Vermont Department of Public Service’s Cle
The Vermont Air National Guard (VTANG) will harness the sun’s energy to power the Air National Guard F-16 Squadron Fighter Wing in South Burlington, Vermont, cutting the facility’s electricity usage by 40%, an annual savings of $225,000.
Soquel High School, a public high school serving 1200 students in Soquel, CA, had two main motivations for using the sun for electricity. First, financial incentives in California allowed the school to save money immediately. Second, going green was in line with the mission of the school to encourage students to responsibly contribute to society. The school set an example of social responsibility and was able to show the economic and environmental impacts of solar power.
