NEW MEXICO’S LARGEST SOLAR INSTALLATION! THE POLES ARE IN!

Wednesday 17th of June 2009

Phase I of the UNM Klauer Campus array has been completed!
Over 400 steel poles are in the ground. This week, the PPC Solar team has been trenching and laying conduit. In the coming weeks, we will be wiring, welding, and mounting panels!
This is a 500kw Solar Electric System on the Klauer Campus of UNM Taos, and is being installed in conjunction with Erickson Construction and American Capital Energy. This array will be comprised of 2,640 panels, utilized on a single axis tracking system. It is the largest, most powerful array in New Mexico to date. The project, funded by Kit Carson Electric Co-op, is the first of several projects that Paradise Power will be installing in Northern New Mexico.

While this job is underway, we have another PPC Solar team that recently completed a 2.5kw residential photovoltaic grid-tie system in the Town of Taos. This team is currently preparing to depart for Billings, Montana to install a residential off-grid system with Solar Survival Architecture!
