SolarCraft, Stafford, Texas, has completed the design and installation of a 35 kW solar electric system for North Bay Self Storage and Southpoint Lofts in Petaluma, Calif.
The recently completed photovoltaic (PV) system provides 85% of the property's electrical needs on an annual basis for the 78,000 square-foot building. The system will enable the facility to generate enough clean electricity each day to power 10 average homes and will prevent nearly 60 tons of greenhouse gases from being released into the air per year.
According to the companies, North Bay Self Storage and Southpoint Lofts is one of the first storage facilities to use solar energy.
