Santa Clara Fire Station #4 Powers Up With Green Energy

Market Wire, April, 2008

Power Solutions has engineered and installed an 8 kilowatt (DC) solar power system on the new firehouse at 2323 Pruneridge Ave, Santa Clara. The system received final approval on Wednesday, March 19, 2008 from the building department, allowing it to go live.

The building was designed by the Aedis Group of San José. Working with the electrical contractor, Northern States Electric, Power Solutions selected American-made Sharp photovoltaic panels for the project. Using 40 Sharp ND208U1 panels with two SMA-America 4000US inverters, the system will generate 12,197 kilowatts during the year. A monitoring system from Fat Spaniel will allow web-based tracking of the system's production from any computer.

Jose Radzinsky, CEO of Power Solutions, said, "This system was designed to maximize the usage of roof space available. We anticipate that it will generate a significant portion of the new building's energy use for many years to come. We are pleased to support the City of Santa Clara's pursuit of environmental best practices and carbon-free power production."

 

Nestor Sohnlein, Vice President of Power Solutions, said, "The installation process was straight forward, we coordinated with the General Contractor and other sub-contractors throughout the contraction process and finished on time."

As a money saving feature, composite shingles were installed on the roof below the solar installation, while a Spanish tile roof covers the rest of the building.

Renewable Power Solutions Introduces 15-Year Warranty on Workmanship

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - May 7, 2008) - Power Solutions, leading provider of solar photovoltaic integration services for residential, commercial, non-profit and governmental needs, introduces their new 15-year warranty on workmanship.

After surpassing their 10-year mark in the solar industry, Power Solutions has improved their way of doing business. "We strive to be a leader in the growing solar industry. After assessing our body of work we have decided to improve our 10-year workmanship warranty by extending it to 15 years. We have the confidence in our workmanship to surpass all expectations and we hope that the rest of the solar industry will follow our lead," said Jose Radzinsky, CEO of Power Solutions.

Power Solutions is the first to offer a 15-year warranty on workmanship. The company was a pioneer in offering the 10-year workmanship warranty back in 2004 and it wasn't until Jan. 2007 that the California Solar Initiative mandated all integrators to offer a 10-year warranty on workmanship. Power Solutions is confident their 15-year workmanship warranty will establish new expectations and set new precedents for the solar industry.
