Oakland, Calif.-based integrator ThinkSolar, in cooperation with solar contractor Pacific Solar Energy, has completed a 650 kW commercial roof-mounted photovoltaic system for Lithographix in Hawthorne, Calif. This system is the first commercial array in the city of Hawthorne, ThinkSolar says.
The rooftop installation at Lithographix's 250,000 square-foot facility near Los Angeles International Airport features Schott ASE300 solar panels, Solectria inverters and a custom-designed UniRac ballast racking system.
The array, commissioned Dec. 15, 2008, is already performing up to standard and is expected to offset Lithographix's energy demands by 30%.
