“1st Light Energy has used Solectria Renewables' residential, commercial and utility-scale inverters in various installations over the past five years,” said Justin Krum, President of 1st Light Energy. “In a project as large as this, we knew that we needed the best inverters in the solar industry. We chose Solectria because we find their warranties, customer service, performance and reliability to be what our customers are looking for.”

The PV installations are in line with Extra Space Storage’s strategy to reduce their carbon footprint by utilising solar to power their facilities. So far, PV has been installed at 45 of the company’s sites with an additional 58 currently under development.

All of the 103 sites will use Solectria Renewables' PVI 60, 82 or 95KW inverters. In total, the PV installations will generate more than 11.5 million kWh of solar power every year.
