The Arizona State Game & Fish Department has installed a 191kW grid-tied solar power system to provide power to the main facility. As part of a comprehensive program at this government building, this renewable energy system helped the agency attain Platinum LEED status.

The 191kW solar power system utilizes (1,092) 175W photovoltaic panels connected by (2) 82kW and (2) 13kW inverters. The roof-mounted, ballasted system was designed to minimize live and dead loading during heavy rain. The innovative ballasted approach also provides a zero-roof penetration system to maximize longevity and reduce lifecycle roofing costs.

A complete web-interface and weather monitoring system features auto-alerts to help ensure optimal system performance at all times. The system will generate more than 297,500 kilowatt hours per year, which is roughly the amount required to power 21 homes. The resulting CO2 offset of 358,282lbs is equivalent to preventing the emissions of more than 30 cars.

Through a commitment to excellence, quality, workmanship and innovative financing options, Alpha Energy has provided Arizona Game & Fish Department with the best turnkey solution. The agency can now enjoy an efficient low-cost alternative to electricity and concentrate on its core business without worrying about system cost and maintenance.
