Independent Energy Solutions Finishes Solar Panel Installation in California

IES (Independent Energy Solutions) has completed the 1.15 MW solar electric system for Capital Group Companies in Orange County in California. The solar systems have been mounted on the shade structures upon the roofs of the three parking garages. The solar system provides for approximately 50% of energy usage towards powering the central plant equipment and campus data center.

The solar system consists of 5,472 units of Kyocera solar panels integrated with high-efficiency polycrystalline solar panels while having the capacity to produce 1.7 million kWh of clean electricity annually. In Orange County, this solar array happens to be the largest PV system that will be saving CO₂ emissions to the extent of 30,725 tons over a period of 25 years.

The Capital Group works towards providing a work environment that is environment conscious while the IES went on to install 5,400 solar panels within seventeen working days, thus, displaying their joint commitment towards developing solar energy.
