近日, Silicon Valley Human Society的全新動物收容所正利用太陽能組件,以滿足其30-40%的電力需求. 其中,所使用的1335個光伏組件包括一個274千瓦的太陽能停車場遮蔭結構和一個屋頂太陽能系統。
    最終Tioga Energy將擁有并經營該電力系統。據估計，該系統的安裝將可節省能源費用50,000美元。Human Society在沒有資本支出的情況下運用該技術,原因在于與Tioga購買電力的協議。
    收容所總統，Christine Benninger表示，該系統的安裝不僅有助于動物們,而且對于高效環保節能有完美的演繹,同時與大自然也更加和諧.

 
Animal Shelter Goes Solar
The Silicon Valley Human Society’s new animal shelter is using solar modules to produce about 30-40 percent of its electricity. 1,335 photovoltaic modules comprise a 274-kilowatt solar parking shade structure and rooftop solar system.
 Tioga Energy owns and operates the power system. It is estimated that the installation will save $50,000 in energy costs. The Humane Society was able to have the solar technology installed with no capital outlay, due to an agreement with Tioga to purchase the power from them. The shelter’s president, Christine Benninger said, “Today, our Animal Community Center not only promotes animals, but also showcases the ease and beauty of energy efficiency, water saving, and building in harmony with nature.”
