PROJECT AT A GLANCE
700 Penhorn Avenue
Pro-Tech Energy Solutions designed a 425.32kW roof mounted photovoltaic (PV) system for Master Cutlery, Inc. The solar modules were mounted to the roof using DPW Solar Corporation’s CRS racking solution. In addition to the installation of the solar array, Pro-Tech Energy Solutions was able to implement the installation of a new utility “master meter” at the site. This required the coordination of the owner, contractor and utility to consolidate multiple utility meters into one meter; thereby enabling the owner to more efficiently monitor the energy usage at the facility.
Master Cutlery – 291.55kW
701 Penhorn Avenue
Pro-Tech Energy Solutions designed a 291.55kW roof mounted photovoltaic (PV) system for Master Cutlery, Inc. The solar project was constructed to supply power to this multi-tenant commercial property. The property is a mixed use facility consisting of traditional office spaces and light distribution. In conjunction with the installation of the solar array, Pro-Tech Energy Solutions was able to implement the installation of a new utility “master meter” at the site. This required the coordination of the owner, contractor and utility to consolidate multiple utility meters into one meter; thereby enabling the owner to more efficiently monitor the energy usage at the facility.
