* These estimates are based on thirty years of solar radiation data collected near Phoenix, AZ by the USA National Renewable Energy Laboratory. They represent long-term production estimates based on the size of the solar array, solar panel tilt and orientation. Actual production may vary, due to factors including, but not limited to, site-specific shading, and solar panel temperature.
and prevent the emissions of more than 130,000lbs of CO2 per year. All PV systems deployed by Cox AZ include real-time performance monitoring systems that track and record performance data including power produced and metrics to energy offsets.
