A large segment of the hotel’s guest base is military personnel on temporary duty at the base. The hotel prides itself on providing a “home away from home” and an inviting atmosphere to support the troops. The hotel began looking into a solar photovoltaic energy system in 2013. The Towne Place Suites is now the first Maryland hotel to be nearly 100 percent solar-powered.

Black Hills State University (BHSU), nestled in Spearfish, South Dakota, near the Wyoming border, is currently embarking on an ambitious mission to be powered by 100 percent renewable energy. The plan, called the President’s Climate Commitment, aims to make the school 100 percent renewable by 2030. To meet its sustainability goals, this master’s-level state university with more than 3,800 students, contracted , a leading provider of energy-efficient technologies and solutions, to install rooftop PV systems on many of its buildings.

GenPro partnered with  for a bundled package of high-quality modules, inverters, and racking. The total solar solution optimizes the PV system’s performance to deliver lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and quicker return on investment (ROI) for BHSU.

PV for RVs: Introducing One of the Country’s First RV Parks to Run on Solar Power.

The owner of the Glades Resort, an RV park in Moore Haven, Florida, noticed an opportunity to practice environmental stewardship and save money on his power costs by switching from traditional to renewable energy.
