$77,760

SolarPorts designed, engineered and built a 90 kW small-commercial solar project built on SolarPort carport structures at 567 Auto Center Dr in CA. The site now generates a substantial share of its own electricity on-site, cutting peak-rate exposure and locking in long-term energy costs.

The installed system includes 180 solar panels (Trina 500 BiFacial) mounted on 3 SolarPort carport structures above the parking lot, paired with 9 GoodWe 10 KW inverters.

In numbers, the project delivers a 90.0 kW DC nameplate capacity, roughly 172,800 AC kWh of clean energy per year, and an estimated $77,760 in year-one utility-bill offsets.
