The construction on this installation began shortly after Sullivan Solar Power completed construction on the 207,000 Watt photovoltaic system atop four of the bases housing facility buildings, the Bachelor Enlisted Quarters.
The Militarys clean energy efforts are exhibited in the installations of these solar power systems, with Camp Pendleton at the forefront of these undertakings. The installed renewable energy system on the bases Bachelor Enlisted Quarters Package 8 is projected to reduce approximately 392,160 pounds of polluting carbon emissions each year and will save Camp Pendleton tens of thousands of dollars worth of electricity costs with in the first year of operation.
We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with the Hensel Phelps Soltek Joint Venture team to develop this renewable energy powerhouse. The savings from this project will be extremely beneficial, both environmentally and monetarily, said Daniel Sullivan, founder and President of Sullivan Solar Power, This solar installation displays the militarys commitment to declaring energy independence.
The military bases greenest living quarters are powered with 1,024 American-made Sharp solar panels. The American-made products used for the project support our local and national economy. At annual peak production, the panels will produce enough energy to power over 23,000 homes for an entire day.
Both this installation, and the photovoltaic system that is in production on the Camp Pendleton dining facility, are positively impacting the local community and its residents. Three new local prevailing-wage jobs were created within Sullivan Solar Power for these projects.
