| Public School Solar Power System
Save money while you do the right thing for your community's environment
A solar power system was designed for a public school in Brentwood, CA. This system included 330 UniSolar PVL-128T Panels on a metal roof, and 15 SunnyBoy 2500U-SBD inverters. The panels are also know as BIPV, Building Integrated Photovolaic, and are the darker area of the roof in the photo below. Total DC output of the system is 42.4 kw, and total AC output is 37.5 kw. The system will save the elementary school $10,000 per year in electricity costs and will eliminate 21 tons of CO2 emissions each year.
The Brentwood School District's system is part of the Solar Schools Program, which contributes $4.00 per CEC rated watt, resulting in a total rebate of $100,000 to the cost of the Brentwood solar energy system.


Energy Analysis
Our recommendation to install this particular solar energy system was based on a detailed analysis of the school's energy bills, roof condition, shading and orientation, electrical system, local weather conditions, environmental interests, financial goals, economic parameters and aesthetic preferences. This analysis was summarized in a detailed, 50+ page report that we presented to the school. |
