Phoenix Solar Inc. and Silicon Ranch Corp. plan to build a 200 kW PV solar system on the roof of the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee.
Construction on the rooftop is currently under way, with completion scheduled for the second quarter of this year. The project will require the installation of 840 solar modules.
As owner of the solar facility, Silicon Ranch will sell the electricity to the Tennessee Valley Authority and share a portion of the proceeds with Second Harvest. In turn, Second Harvest will use the proceeds to reduce costs. Phoenix Solar will provide engineering, procurement and construction services, as well as long-term operations and maintenance services.
