SPRINGFIELD CREAMERY
In December, 2008 Springfield Creamery in partnership with Advanced Energy Systems activated a 63.5 KW Solar Electric System. The system utilizes (294) high efficiency Sharp 216 watt modules. The modules are mounted on a custom Schletter flush rack system. The power from the modules is routed through a Solectria 60 KW inverter before connecting to the grid. The net metering agreement with EWEB (Eugene Water and Electric Board) credits Springfield Creamery when production is in excess of usage.
The PV System is monitored via a DECK monitoring system to track energy production and environmental benefits over time. Over its lifetime the system will save/offset an equivalent amount of energy as 1,600 tons of CO2, 172,000 gallons of gasoline, or 4,900 trees.
