APS Solar Completes Green Mountain Sun Club Solar Project at The Fort Worth Zoo
Dallas, TX, October 05, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Alternative Power Solutions Corp., (dba APS), recently installed a solar system at the Fort Worth Zoo on behalf of Green Mountain Energy Company’s Sun Club donation program. APS was selected by Green Mountain to install a 51.2 kilowatt (kW) system on the Zoo’s administration building.
This solar system will help reduce the Zoo’s energy consumption and carbon footprint. The solar array is expected to produce almost 63,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year by converting sunlight into pollution-free electricity. It occupies over 2,816 square feet and consists of 128 Lumeta PowerPly solar panels that are 400 watts each. The system is expected to offset 196,548 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions each year.
Lumeta is a self-adhering panel attached directly to the roof without racking, reducing system weight and eliminating wind loading issues. There are no roof penetrations and the simplified peel-and-stick installation reduces installation time by approximately 60 percent. The solar system at the Fort Worth Zoo is the largest project in Texas to utilize this unique solar application.
APS Solar says this solar project was dedicated on August 30, 2011. This is the fourth solar array that APS has installed for Green Mountain’s Sun Club.
