Largest U.S. Solar-Equipped Affordable Housing Project Unveiled
The solar installation encompasses 21 sites around the county, 250 separate structures, five municipal permitting jurisdictions, and three utilities. All told, more than 7,200 SolarWorld panels will offset 100 percent of the energy consumption of 863 units of affordable housing, including both tenant and common areas, and trim power costs for both HACSB and residents.
“SolarWorld is heartened to be part of a project that delivers the benefits of solar technology to low-income members of our community,” said Kevin Kilkelly, president of SolarWorld Americas. “Universally applicable, solar power holds the promise of putting clean, affordable energy in the hands of everyone everywhere.”
