Roseville,
CA, USA: Yes! Solar Solutions Begins Construction of PV Systems
for Three Affordable Housing Developments
Yes!
Solar Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Solar Power, Inc.
is scheduled to begin construction on three contracts executed
by SPI with The Housing Authority of Monterey County (HAMC) in
Salinas, California. The three developments are located in various
parts of Monterey County and ultimately represent 166 apartment
units and associated common areas.
The
photovoltaic solar systems being designed and installed by Yes!
Solar Solutions will provide a combined total of 210 kilowatts
of photovoltaic powered electricity and will serve the electricity
needs of most of the apartment units and the common areas of the
three developments. The three developments are formally known
as The Monterey Street Apartments, Fanoe Vista Apartments and
the Benito Street Apartments and are located within the communities
of Soledad and Gonzalez in Monterey County, California.
“These
projects represent a continuation of our work within the affordable
housing industry and with HAMC,” said Todd Lindstrom, President
of Yes! Solar, Inc.
“Most
recently we completed a retrofit project for HAMC, converting
their Rippling River development in Carmel Valley, California
to PV solar with a 32 kilowatt system. To date, including new
buildings and retrofits, our company has completed nine major
affordable housing developments representing approximately three
quarters of a megawatt of installed and contracted PV solar systems,”
Mr. Lindstrom concluded.
“Yes!
Solar Solutions has done a great job for us, and because of our
positive experience with photovoltaic solar systems on our developments,
we are planning to include solar in all of our future projects,”
said Starla Warren, Director of Development, with The Housing
Authority of Monterey County. “In addition to the environmental
benefits solar delivers, the economical sustainability of photovoltaic
solar allows us to better serve our constituency,” Ms. Warren
added.
