EMERALD LAUNDROMAT
In November 2008 Emerald Laundromat in partnership with Advanced Energy Systems activated a 15.7 KW Solar Electric System. The system utilizes (70) high efficiency Sharp 224 watt modules. The power from the modules is routed through (3) 5000 watt SMA Inverters before connecting to the grid. The net metering agreement with EWEB (Eugene Water and Electric Board) credits Emerald Laundromat when production is in excess of usage.
The PV System has substantial environmental impacts. Over its lifetime the system will save/offset an equivalent amount of energy as 440 tons of CO2, 44,900 gallons of gasoline, or 1,300 trees.
