Medford BLM gets a Solar Canopy

A 50kW solar system is being installed in Medford Oregon by Advanced Energy Systems of Eugene Oregon. This project, funded by ARRA dollars will significantly reduce the cost of electricity for the host BLM.

The solar array was installed on a custom designed canopy, which resembles a free-standing carport. The "SunStation" was designed and installed by AES, along with the 208 SolarWorld 245w modules. This project features all Oregon content, from the SunStation steel, to the SolarWorld modules, and the labor and materials. As Oregon's leading solar PV and thermal commercial contractor, AES won the bid to construct the solar array.

Check out some early installation photos in this slideshow. Final project completion is targeted for April 22, 2011.
