SOLAR & STORAGE SOLUTIONS

City of Mesa – ASU @ Mesa City Center
This unique, aesthetic, raised solar canopy superstructure on the roof of the newly constructed ASU Academic Building at Mesa City Center is an exceptional example of integrating money-saving solar with architectural design for both visual and functional benefits. In addition to helping save money on utility bills, the superstructure provides valuable shade for equipment installed on the roof.

Grand Canyon West Solar + Storage Microgrid
This project converted an existing microgrid solely powered by diesel generators to one powered primarily by solar and a battery energy storage system (BESS). The BESS serves as the grid-forming source, greatly reducing operational costs and increasing reliability of the microgrid. It is comprised of an 884.52 kWdc fixed-tilt ground-mounted solar array, 770 kW / 2.14 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), microgrid controller, and medium-voltage grid stability equipment. Planning for the future was a crucial component in the development of this project as the local utility is expected to provide power to the area in the future.

Vail School District Mica Mountain
Vail School District partnered with SOLON Corporation to construct seven solar canopies totaling 716 kW at Mica Mountain High School. The solar canopies are creatively situated throughout the campus to provide optimum shade for student activities, including a 14,000-sf solar superstructure over the basketball court.

Pima Community College
Pima Community College partnered with SOLON Corporation to construct a 1,826 kWdc solar project at the Northwest Campus, saving the College an estimated $4 million on electrical bills and providing shaded parking for students, faculty, and staff.
