Blue Earth Gets 48-kW Solar Carport EPC Contract
Blue Earth Inc. announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xnergy Inc., signed a 48-kW commercial custom solar carport engineering, procurement and installation contract with Los Altos Foods Products Inc., a manufacturer of unique cheeses and other food types in the City of Industry, Calif. The approximate value of the contract is $395,000.
The Los Altos Foods Products solar shade structure has been designed to generate approximately 72,918 kWh of electrical power annually using 165 of 295-watt Siliken high efficiency solar panels. The solar PV system will help reduce the facility’s carbon footprint by offsetting the equivalent of 1,600 tons of CO2 over 25 years, in addition to creating annual electrical savings.
“We are very proud to support Los Altos Foods Products in their progressive efforts to become more sustainable and continue decreasing their carbon footprint. This type of forward thinking for a family owned and operated company not only provides significant energy and cost savings, but is also the right thing to do,” stated D. Jason Davis, CEO of Xnergy Inc.
The Los Altos Foods Products solar shade structure is expected to be completed in July of 2012.
