Avondale Installation - Cox Solar Elevated Racking Structure in Avondale, AZ

This 75kW Elevated Solar PV Grid-Tied structure for Cox Communications is the first commercial solar installation in the city of Avondale, AZ. The system will provide clean and low-cost power for onsite business operations for the next 20 to 25 years.

Comprised of two systems, the Cox Avondale installation required 276 175W photovoltaic panels. Integrating three of Alpha’s Elevated Solar Racking Structures, the systems cover 57 parking spaces, offering a dual benefit: protection from the elements and additional space for installation of PV panels. Combined, the systems will generate more than 115,000 kilowatt hours per year, enough to power 11 homes and prevent the emissions of more than 142,000 lbs of CO2. Construction took less than 3 months, with all permitting and logistics coordinated by Alpha Energy’s project management team.

With a reputation for offering competitive pricing, innovative engineering and unrivaled system performance, Alpha Energy designed, installed, commissioned and tested the system. The system was engineered to meet our customer’s objective of maximum electricity at a minimal cost.
