Commercial - Blackbaud Stadium Installs a 10.8kW PV System
Across the Cooper River in Charleston, SC, at the far end of Blackbaud Stadium, Andrew Bell squints at 60 new solar panels Argand crews put up the day before. "We live in a sunny place," says Bell, director of public relations and marketing for the Charleston Battery soccer team. "Why not have the sun beat down on solar panels?" Argand recently installed a 10.8kW, grid-tied photovoltaic (PV) system that includes 60 Evergreen 180W panels. The panels are pole mounted with each array consisting of 12 panels mounted on each pole. The system uses a Solectria 13kW inverter. CO2 reduction from the system is estimated at 7.5 tons.
