Alpha Energy is a renewable energy systems integrator and full-service engineering and project development company. Alpha Energy worked with US Prefab to engineer a series of turnkey parking shade structures supporting the bulk of an Alpha supplied solar power system. This parking structure allowed the necessary mounting flexibility to generate the desired powering requirement, while providing protection from the elements and increases social awareness due to the systems visibility from the street level.
System Specifications System Power: 12kW PV Array: (72) 170 Modules Solar Inverter: (3) 4kW
The 12kW grid-tied solar power system includes 72-170 Watt photovoltaic modules and three 4kW solar inverters. The installed system is part of an 18-stall parking structure with overall dimensions of 37’ 8’’ x 123’ 5”. The system will generate 20,351 kilowatt hours per year, offsetting more than 28,491 lbs of CO2. This CO2 offset is equivalent to preventing the emissions from nearly 1500 gallons of gasoline. One of the nation’s leading developers of turnkey photovoltaic systems for commercial, institutional and remote (off-grid) applications, Alpha Energy is recognized as a market innovator in packaging renewable energy technologies.
