CBF Merrill Center to Install 106 kW Solar System
(ANNAPOLIS, MD) The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) and Solar Energy Services, Inc. (SES) announced an agreement today for SES to design and build a 106 kW, grid-tied solar Sistema fotovoltaico no Centro Ambiental Philip Merrill, sede da CBF. Os painéis serão instalados principalmente nos telhados disponíveis, mas o design também exige algumas estruturas exclusivas de sombra solar para fornecer benefícios adicionais à instalação e seus ocupantes. “Eu sei pessoalmente que o CBF liderou o caminho para iniciativas sustentáveis em nossa região há muito tempo. É uma honra ser selecionada para construir este projeto, o que ajudará a avançar a mensagem do CBF e sua administração ambiental.” ||h. Isso compensará significativamente o consumo de eletricidade tradicional da instalação. “A nova matriz gerará eletricidade suficiente para fornecer um terço da potência para aquecimento, resfriamento e outras necessidades dos mais de 100 funcionários que trabalham aqui. Como uma organização sem fins lucrativos, não nos beneficiaremos dos muitos incentivos fiscais disponíveis, mas incentivamos outras pessoas e as empresas a serem definidas de acordo com os custos e os benefícios da adição de 1510. O final deste verão.
The Merrill Center rooftop solar system will include more than 370 solar panels from US manufacturer SolarWorld, as well as inverter systems from Solar Edge. The panels will be installed primarily on the available roof tops, but the design also calls for some unique solar shade structures to provide additional benefits to the facility and its occupants.
SES president Rick Peters shared that SES is pleased to participate in this marquee project. “I know personally that CBF has led the way on sustainable initiatives in our region for a very long time. It is an honor to be selected to construct this project, which will help advance CBF’s message and their environmental stewardship.”
The solar system is projected to produce more than 133 MWh of electricity annually, enough to power more than 10 average Maryland homes. This will significantly offset the facility’s consumption of traditional electricity.
“While we have had solar panels at the Merrill Center in the past, we are adding this new capacity because it is now more affordable as well as more efficient,” said CBF Vice President Mary Tod Winchester. “The new array will generate enough electricity to provide one third of the power for heating, cooling, and other needs of the more than 100 staff who work here. As a non-profit, we will not benefit from the many tax incentives available, but we encourage other individuals and businesses to closely examine the costs and benefits of adding solar generation.”
The project is expected to be completed before the end of this summer.
