D.C. High School to Install 500-kW Array

By Kelly Pickerel May 9, 2012

Solar Solution LLC is proud to announce that it has been awarded the contract to install a solar PV array at the newly constructed Dunbar High School. The 500-kW solar array will consists of both PV panels and thin-film modules that will be situated on its newly constructed roof. The solar array will greatly help reduce the Districts of Columbia’s dependency on the grid while helping the D.C. Public School System save money that can be allocated for other capital improvement projects.

With the ever increasing rate increases for the District of Columbia, installing a solar system is now becoming a viable option to help reduce not only their overall costs, but also by helping reduce the carbon footprint of the building. Solar Solution is working with Smooth/Gilbane Construction and Laco Electric to help bring this project to a reality for the D.C. Public School System and its residents.

This system will save the District residence and the D.C. Public School approximately $2.5 million over the 25 year life span of the system. “If every school in the District decides to put solar on its roof, it will help save the district millions yearly which can help us rebuild our schools for DC residents by using the power of solar,” said Atta Kiarash of Solar Solution LLC.
