The Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, has a new 1.65MW PV array on its rooftop, which is powered in part by Solectria Renewables’ SmartGrid inverters. The project is said to be the largest rooftop installation in Utah, with Bella Energy acting as its engineering, procurement and construction manager. Solectria’s SGI500 and 300 commercial and utility-scale inverters were chosen for the project, which is expected to generate around 2.4MWh of solar energy per year.
“Salt Lake County is committed to reducing its energy usage through conservation and the use of renewable technology at its facilities,” said mayor of Salt Lake County, Peter Corroon. “This spring we look forward to producing a significant portion of the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center’s electrical power with this solar array. We are proud to offer our future convention guests clean power from the largest solar rooftop installation in Utah and one of the largest in the country. This project was made possible by an unprecedented private/public partnership and serves as an example of the significant and untapped solar potential in the state of Utah.”
