The Park Villas Rooftop is the largest Multi-family Affordable Solar Housing (MASH) project in California and will generate 775,000 KWH of electricity annually, enough to power 144 housing units and property common areas. In addition to supplying solar energy to the families living in Park Villas, Everyday Energy provided solar installation training to residents interested in becoming solar installation assistants. As a result of this training, Everyday Energy hired 3 course participants to work as solar assistants on their installation team.

The owners of Hawk Pointe Golf Club seek to make their course the most environmentally-friendly golf course in the country. In addition to powering course facilities with clean solar power, Hawk Pointe has also invested in a system that reclaims and treats wastewater to supply the significant volumes of water required to irrigate the course. Solar was chosen as the clean energy source because peak energy demand on the golf course coincides with peak energy production from solar.

Situated on about 1,400 acres of land, Copper Mountain Solar III taps into the intense desert sun in Boulder City, Nevada, to produce clean energy and a stronger local economy. Copper Mountain Solar III is the third stage in the landmark Copper Mountain Solar complex, one of the largest photovoltaic solar facilities in the U.S.

The 345MW facility generates enough electricity to power about 89,000 homes. Copper Mountain Solar III supported the Boulder City economy by creating around 500 construction jobs and four full-time positions. The facility also generates state and local revenue through the sale of clean energy to the Southern California Public Power Authority.

Solar Power Partners and Oro Loma partnered with DRI Energy to design, build, and install a system to produce 468kW using Trinasolar panels. Oro Loma Sanitary District provides wastewater collection and treatment services, and residential and commercial solid waste and recycling services to its customers.

When Colorado State University decided to develop a ground-mounted solar power system at their Foothills campus, leading PV developer Fotowatio Renewable Ventures (FRV) selected Trina Solar’s multi-crystalline 230W modules. The installation is expected to generate annually over three and half million kilowatthours of electricity, satisfying over 10% of the campus’ electricity needs.

This 9.6 MW system is the largest school solar system in the United States. Students at all the high schools were active on their Facebook pages and Twitter accounts talking about the solar systems being installed on their campuses. The installation also serves as an important teaching aide the students can observe outside their classroom.

Using Trinasolar Panels, The Clark County School District was able to reduce energy costs and provided significant energy savings for each of the 18 elementary schools. The installation made use of available standing seam roofs for much of the installations. This brought the installation cost down and provided significant energy savings for each of the 18 elementary schools. Interactive monitoring systems inside the schools offer children the chance to learn how solar PV systems work.

Construction and testing of the Porterville project took about six months. This short construction phase was enabled by over a year of pre-construction planning and experience gained from Southern California Edison’s numerous other facilities. Additionally, Porterville City leaders were willing to draft a suitable lease for the land adjacent to the airport on which the project was built. The site was selected because it offered suitable land near distribution circuits that could support a large amount of solar power without the need for major upgrades.

The Marriott Towne Place Suites, Marriott’s 2012 “Hotel of the Year”, is located across Old Alexander Ferry Road from Joint Base Andrews. 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.
