Project Brief
The project was secured through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Orlando Utilities Commission through an RFP process. This array is on the City of Orlando Fleet Maintenance Building, which manages the City’s vehicle fleet maintenance issues. ESA provided engineering, procurement, and construction services for this 417-kW ballasted rooftop array.
The system consists of 1,392 PV solar modules and is divided into three separate rooftop arrays. The city will be saving approximately $800,000 in energy costs over the life of the project. This project also hosted a unique work-along event with the City of Orlando’s Mayor, Buddy Dyer. Dyer participated in working along-side ESA to get a firsthand look at solar energy applications and the installation process.
