The Anchorage Solar Building is generating power!
Renewable Energy Systems congratulates
developer Steve Zelener on the completion of a 17.2kw solar energy
system at Alaska's first solar powered office complex, the Anchorage
Solar Building at 5th and E Street in downtown Anchorage. The 96-panel
array produced over a megawatt of electricity in just its first two
weeks in service! The array is expected to contribute 6% to 9% of the
building's annual electric load, and save 308 tons of greenhouse gas (CO
2)
over 25 years (equivalant to 616,000 auto miles.) The system employs 96
Trina 180w monocrystilline solar panels, three SMA Sunny Boy 6000US
grid-tie inverters, and a vertical mounting structure from Unirac
Sunframe. Renewable Energy Systems designed the system and supplied the
panels, system components, and materials for the project. Learn more at
