A prominent industrial facility located in Illinois, sought to reduce its carbon footprint and energy costs by transitioning to renewable energy sources. With a commitment to sustainability, customer opted to install a ground mount solar PV system to harness clean energy and optimize operational efficiency.
Project Goals:
The primary objectives of the solar project included:
• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the carbon footprint from daily operation.
• Lowering energy costs and stabilizing long-term energy expenditures.
• Promoting renewable energy awareness within the community.
The agreed to purchase the electricity generated by the solar system at a predetermined rate, typically lower than their existing utility rate. The agreement includes performance guarantees, ensuring that the system operates at expected efficiency levels.
Ground Mount Solar PV System Details:
• System Size: 935 kW
• Annual Electricity Generation: 1,154,658 kWh/yr
• Annual Environmental Impact: The solar system will offset the facility’s carbon footprint by 776 tons, equivalent to the carbon dioxide emissions from 87,291 gallons of gasoline.
• Role: Developer & EPC
