| Costco Wholesale installs solar-power energy system Costco Wholesale has announced the installation of its second solar-powered energy system at its Lake Elsinore, California warehouse. SunEdison simplified the implementation by delivering the turnkey solar system, which will produce 595 kW, DC, 496kW, AC, through the 45,000 square foot system. The new system is expected to supply in excess of 725,000 kWh annually. The clean energy produced by the solar system will eliminate an estimated 1,009,611 pounds of CO2 annually, which is the equivalent of planting 2,800 acres of trees over the 25 year life of the system. By delivering a turn-key system, SunEdison simplified the implementation process, which includes engineering, permitting, metering and meeting other regulatory requirements. SunEdison built the system using Kyocera 200 Watt Modules, and a SatCon 500 KW inverter. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
