Enphase Energy and 603 Solar to Offset 100% of Energy for Shelburne, NH Town Hall
October 05 2020 - 08:00AM
Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH), a global energy technology
company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters,
today announced that 603 Solar deployed a 16.8 kW DC solar array on
the town hall building for the community of Shelburne, New
Hampshire. After other recent energy efficiency upgrades to the
town hall building, the solar system from 603 Solar is expected to
offset 100% of the building’s energy needs.
The team at 603 Solar specified 42 Enphase IQ 7A™
microinverters for the Shelburne town hall, and the system was
locally installed by Roger Adams, owner at Adams Energy LLC. The
Shelburne Energy Committee, started by residents Ray Danforth and
Michael Prange, produced the analysis used by the Town of Shelburne
to set up a financing structure aimed at having the solar project
generate positive savings starting in the first year of solar power
generation. The town hall’s solar system is projected to produce up
to 18,174 kWh in its first year of operation and targeted at
offsetting 100% of the Town Hall’s energy needs. The system is
anticipated to offset approximately 12.8 metric tons of CO2 per
year.
The Energy Committee worked closely with the
Shelburne Selectboard on energy efficiency upgrades. Following
this, the next major step towards net-zero energy was to find a
cost-neutral means of installing a solar electric array. Working
with the Selectboard, the bank, and the people in this small town,
the Town leveraged favorable financing conditions and now has a
solar system that will service the loan with funds that were
allocated for paying electric bills. This project shows how great
communication and collaboration between residents and community
leaders can create long-term value for an entire community using
solar energy.
“It was a pleasure to work with the Town of
Shelburne and the Shelburne Energy Committee because they were
determined to offset 100% of the energy for the town hall using
solar,” said Zach Haithcock, co-founder at 603 Solar. “After the
community’s previous investments in advanced energy efficiency
measures for the building, it made sense for us also to use the
most advanced solar technology available, which made Enphase
microinverters the obvious choice. We will be keeping an eye on the
array remotely from the Enphase Enlighten™ monitoring system to
ensure the best possible solar production for the people of
Shelburne.”
603 Solar was awarded the town hall solar project
through its participation in a Request for Proposal (RFP) from the
Town of Shelburne. In addition to system sizing and recommending
the solar modules and microinverters for the project, 603 Solar
also prepared and submitted the interconnection application with
the local utility and the Town’s application for the Commercial and
Industrial Solar Incentive with the New Hampshire Public Utility
Commission.
“The team at 603 Solar has done great work in
pulling together this system for the Town of Shelburne, which is
now able to serve its community using clean, renewable energy that
pays for itself,” said Dave Ranhoff, chief commercial officer at
Enphase Energy. “We appreciate the trust 603 Solar has placed in
the quality and reliability of Enphase products, and it’s great to
know that the residents of Shelburne can now rely on solar as a
clean and renewable energy source at their town hall building.”
