Project Scope
In early 2017, the City of Beaufort launched a significant energy-saving project with a major focus on outfitting its municipal buildings with solar power. The city hopes to reduce utility and operations costs across its buildings and parks, with the goal of saving millions of dollars over time. As part of this project, the Beaufort Fire Station was slated to be outfitted with a rooftop solar panel system. With the Fire Department’s and the City of Beaufort’s focus on protecting, serving and giving back to the local community, producing clean, renewable energy was a also a major in the decision. Alder Energy Systems was contacted to help design and install this commercial solar system in Beaufort, SC.
Installation & Results
Alder Energy Systems completed the installation of the Beaufort Fire Station solar system in September of 2017. The building’s large roof accommodated multiple arrays of solar panels, which face in several directions to capture as much sunlight throughout the day as possible. Altogether, the system consists of 125 Q Cell 290 watt panels in a sleek all black color, which also helps to absorb more solar light. The panels were installed in an integrated commercial roof mount system, and the total output is 36.25 kW.
