Solar Power Installs Solar System at Cox Enterprises Facility

Posted on: Tuesday, 27 November 2007, 12:01 CST

US-based Solar Power has completed the installation of a 100kW photovoltaic system in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, to power Cox Enterprises's 336,000 square foot facility that serves as an operations and communications hub for the company's cable telecommunications division Cox Communications.

While the 100kW system will provide only a fraction of the facility's total annual electricity requirements, it represents an important element of the company's green energy initiative Cox Conserves.

Steven Bradley, senior manager of engineering alternate energy and business continuity at Cox Enterprises, said: "Cox Enterprises has a companywide initiative in place to further reduce our company's carbon footprint, or greenhouse gas emissions, by 20% by the year 2017. We hope the technology will serve as an ongoing example to our employees and the communities we serve of the benefits a photovoltaic solar system can deliver."
