(PR WEB) Nassau Tennis Club has flipped the switch on its newly installed solar system at its Skillman, New Jersey tennis center. GeoPeak Energy was chosen to design and install the system, engineering it as one of New Jersey’s highest efficiency solar systems.
The electricity generated from this system is set to eliminate up to 99% of Nassau’s electrical needs from conventional energy sources and allows the facility to operate on clean, renewable solar power.
The solar energy system is comprised of high-efficiency SunPower 318 watt photovoltaic modules, Sharp photovoltaic modules, and SatCon Inverters. With further energy efficiencies, the 15 court facility will qualify as part of GeoPeak Energy’s list of “Zero Emissions Buildings in 2011”.
“We installed this new generation high efficiency photovoltaic system on a single building and supplied electricity for all buildings and outdoor play areas on site” said AJ Javan, Chief Strategy Officer of GeoPeak Energy. “The SunPower high efficiency modules produce up to 50% higher output than conventional solar panels, which, combined with GeoPeak Energy’s engineering and installation, made it possible to nearly eliminate Nassau Tennis’s dependence on conventional electricity”.
Nassau Tennis has also taken advantage of the GeoPeak Energy Alliance Program, which offers members and employees of the club a discounted solar installation cost, priority service, and additional financial incentives for them to install a solar energy system on their home or business.
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on Friday, December 16 at the club, and featured Skillman township Mayor and newly elected New Jersey Freeholder Mark Caliguire.
