In 2025, General Energy Corporation (GEC) successfully delivered a 630 kW rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system for an industrial facility in Louisiana. The project underscores our commitment to providing tailored, resilient clean energy solutions for complex environments. Located near the Gulf Coast, the facility required a robust solar solution designed to withstand high winds and heavy rainfall common to the region. GEC engineered and installed a 100% mechanically attached rooftop system optimized for durability and performance. The system significantly reduces the site’s environmental impact while improving long-term energy cost stability.
System Details:
- System Size & Type: 630 kW mechanically attached rooftop PV system
- Annual Output: 863,718 kWh of clean electricity
- Carbon Offset: 504 metric tons of CO₂ annually — equivalent to avoiding 56,720 gallons of gasoline
- Energy Offset: Solar System supplies 37% of the facility’s total electricity demand
- GEC Role: Developer and EPC contractor
Customer Goals:
- Lower operational energy costs
- Decrease dependence on grid power via on-site generation
- Secure long-term financial savings with a strong return on investment
Incentives & Ownership:
The project was funded through a CapEx model, enabling the customer to fully own the system and maximize financial returns. Benefits included:
- Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
Accelerated Depreciation through MACRS
