Gordian Energy Systems designs a custom solar PV system,
providing a successful installation, energy savings and
environmental win for one of Maryland's premier sports facilities.
HALETHORPE, Md., April 25,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gordian Energy Systems is
pleased to announce the completion of a 595 kW DC solar array at
the Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds,
Maryland.
"With sustainability as a key component of
our mission at SoccerPlex, the solar array will offset
approximately 70% of our annual electrical use with clean,
renewable energy."
Matt Libber, the Executive Director of this massive complex had
an inspired idea a few years ago! The electrical utilization
required to run a first-rate facility was significant and growing.
Mr. Libber decided to explore a solar solution and contacted our
A.J. Armstrong at Gordian Energy Systems. He wished to learn more
about the options that could deliver the most favorable system and
financing solution for the Maryland Soccer Foundation.
Working together on the most efficient solar layout, and the
best financing solution, SoccerPlex partnered with New Energy
Equity development for an interim PPA financing solution. And
ultimately, a financial partnership was established with Madison
Energy Infrastructure to support a long-term operation and
ownership.
Gordian Energy Systems engineered the system, acquired the
appropriate equipment, and then installed a system that consists of
nearly 1,300 solar panels.
Gordian Energy Systems faced some challenges related to keeping
a project progressing while the Fieldhouse continued to host daily
activities and large weekend events. We wanted to provide a great
project, performed safely and on-time, with minimum disruption to
operations.
The result of the team's strategy is a significant reduction in
energy use, a greater reduction in operating costs, and an
environmental statement for the SoccerPlex clients we can all be
proud of.
The Maryland SoccerPlex boasts 24 professionally maintained
fields and a 66,000 sq. foot fieldhouse. It is a popular venue for
youth and amateur soccer as well as hosting a variety of other
sports such as lacrosse, rugby, field hockey and ultimate frisbee.
The SoccerPlex is currently home to two professional teams, the
Maryland Bobcats of the National Independent Soccer League and Old
Glory DC of Major League Rugby. It is known for its high-quality
facilities and resources that make it the go-to destination for
regional soccer events.
Gordian Energy Systems is proud to have been the partner chosen
for the exemplary project.
