Cape Fear Solar Systems Inaugurates
64.3 KW Solar Array
Cape Fear Solar
Completes Two Hundred-Panel Solar System in Brunswick
County
June
21, 2013 -
Brunswick County, NC -
Cape Fear Solar
Systems, Southeastern North Carolina’s leader
in solar systems design and installation, has
commissioned a 64.3-kilowatt (kW) rooftop solar electric
system at a bio-tech facility in Brunswick County, NC.
Cape Fear Solar Systems designed, engineered and
constructed the solar photovoltaic system consisting of
two hundred and one solar panels that will generate more
than 98,603 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per
year.
The solar system’s output will be used to power the
refrigeration equipment in the various areas of the
bio-tech plant, including processing, packaging and the
distribution sections.
Using a holistic engineering approach, this grid-tied
system was designed using a ballasted roof mounting
structure to avoid roof penetrations, while still
meeting hurricane wind codes, and to make it invisible
from the ground. The overall appearance compliments the
building’s architecture and minimizes the visual impact
on the natural surroundings.
Sizing specifications included offsetting maximum energy
usage. This was achieved by using the most efficient
solar panels on Earth, SunPower 327-watt modules,
resulting in maximum power output per the available roof
space. Analyzing the panels output and selecting the
most suitable inverters has resulted in a powerful
rooftop array with incredibly high yearly energy yield.
"With a 6-year
operating history and having installed over 90
residential and commercial solar systems in the Greater
Wilmington area, our experience ultimately becomes the
customer’s advantage. Our expertise allows us to offer
to each of our customers the best solution for their
property," says John Donoghue, president of Cape Fear
Solar Systems, LLC.
Choosing the best-in-class solar technology and an
experienced, highly-skilled crew assures a clean
installation and long-lasting energy production expected
to function with zero scheduled maintenance during the
next 35+ years.
"At times, our customers return to us to install solar
system for their business, if they have solar panels on
their home and vice versa," Donoghue adds.
Investing in solar hedges businesses against increasing
electricity rates and provides an opportunity to
generate your own power while generating a secondary
source of revenue from your rooftops.
