Emcor to Begin Work on Portland Habilitation Center Solar Array
Posted on: Monday, 19 May 2008, 09:01 CDT
Engineering contractor Emcor Group's subsidiary, the Dynalectric Company, has begun work on a solar power array for the Portland Habilitation Center, a non-profit organization. When completed, it is expected to be one of the largest solar electric systems in the US state of Oregon.
Dynalectric will design and install the solar array and all supporting electrical systems. The installation consists of 4,830 solar panels, an 870kW direct current solar array and a wiring system designed to maximize the efficiency of its photovoltaic capabilities.
Seven 125kVA inverters will be located at the southern perimeter of the Habilitation Center's new industrial center in northeast Portland and the 60,000-square-foot solar array will reportedly be designed without any building envelope roof penetrations, to prevent water leakage.
In addition, the renewable energy generated from the system will power expansion of the Habilitation Center's in-house manufacturing, assembly, order fulfillment, courier and warehousing services.
Emcor noted that any excess energy generated from the photovoltaic electrical system will be delivered to Portland's local utility grid, and the Habilitation Center's electrical bill will be credited.
