Solar Energy Generated at HVLCSD

In December 2011 the District completed a photovoltaic energy sustainability project. The project will meet power demands at the District’s Water Reclamation Plant. Real Goods Solar, San Rafael, has installed 1176 Sharp 240W solar panels, covering 35,000 square feet. The panels are expected to produce 420,000 kWh per year (enough power to run approximately 75 residential units).
