Solar Power

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Creative Energies, LLC designed and installed a photovoltaic power generation system to maximize the amount of power generation onsite.  Since the original solar installation in 2014, the Food Bank added a walk-in freezer and walk-in refrigerator increasing our capacity to accept donated fresh and frozen foods. The additional refrigeration substantially increased electrical consumption.

The project adds 27 solar panels to the existing 20 panels, replaces the inverter with a single larger capacity inverter of newer design, and provides energy storage.

The new system is expected to generate 14.6 kWH or 69% of anticipated annual power consumption (21.1 kWh).
