Borrego Solar Grid Connected PV Systems
Borrego Solar, a leading solar energy company, delivers technical solar and storage expertise. Borrego sought construction observation services to develop and construct their photovoltaic (PV) systems on Long Island and in Central New York.
A new three-grid-connected solar system on Long Island under the Long Island Power Authority’s (LIPA) Feed-in Tariff Program was created. Our team provided civil and structural engineering support for the solar-plus-storage systems, which now hold a total capacity of 18.8 MW AC. CHA also provided civil, structural, and electrical engineering support for the development and construction of two Central New York grid-connected solar systems. Generating an estimated 3.15 million kilowatt hours of electricity, the Houghton College system creates enough power annually for nearly 300 homes. Tompkins Courtland Community College’s system significantly reduced energy costs, meeting approximately 90 percent of its electricity demand.
