Enaqua, a leading water purification solutions provider, installed a 50.4kW Direct Current solar power system for its new expansion facility in San Diego.
They chose Cenergy Power, a leading commercial solar integrator, to engineer and construct the non-penetrating roof solar array. The system is estimated to produce over 74,000 kWh of electricity annually, which offsets Enaqua's utility power consumption by over 80%. Moreover, the solar production will reduce Enaqua's carbon footprint by 38,000 lbs and has an estimated simple payback of less than 5 years.
"As clean water advocates, we knew that going solar on our expanded facility was the right thing to do," said Manoj Jhawar, Enaqua's CEO. "The decision to tap Cenergy Power for this solar project was simple - we were impressed with the know-how of their seasoned team of power quality/systems engineers and the level of detailed workmanship they brought to the entire solar process." Although Enaqua staff is well versed in solar power generation having utilized it in the past for control and telemetry, after evaluating our options it became clear partnering with Cenergy Power made the best sense.
