SolarCraft Completes Solar Power Installation at Nova Group - Napa Engineering & Construction Firm Now Powered by the Sun
Novato and Sonoma based SolarCraft recently completed the installation of a 187 kW solar panel installation at Nova Group in Napa, CA. The solar panel system will provide over a 90% reduction in their power bills, saving the company $2 million dollars in energy fees over the next 20 years.
Novato, CA, March 31, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Designed and installed by SolarCraft, the solar photovoltaic system is ground-mounted and consists of 612 Canadian Solar 305-watt solar panels, providing 292,230 kWh of sustainable solar power every year. The excess energy is fed back to PG&E, reducing the energy pressures on the local power grid.
“We are pleased to join the ranks of those businesses and home owners who are choosing to get off the grid!” stated Nova Group CFO Walter Birdsall. “As a company we take pride in our innovative and forward thinking approach to our construction projects and we try to apply that same spirit to everything we do. Converting our home office and shop to solar is a concrete example of that.”
Over the life of the system 229 tons of carbon dioxide will be eliminated from Nova Group’s carbon footprint, which is the equivalent of removing 19 million miles of driving over the next 25 years. That’s also comparable to the air pollution removed by more than 98 acres of trees.
These numbers show there is a very positive impact with solar energy systems. Plus the system has about a 4 year pay back.
