RGS Energy's Sunetric Deploys PV System for Coral Creek Golf Course, First Public Golf Course to 'Go Solar' on the Island of ...
July 08 2014 - 8:31AM
Sunetric, a wholly-owned subsidiary of RGS Energy (Nasdaq:RGSE),
has completed a multiple solar system project totaling 324.6
kilowatts (kW) for Coral Creek Golf Course in Ewa Beach, Hawaii.
Coral Creek is the first public golf course on O'ahu to 'go solar.'
The facilities at Coral Creek are now powered by three
photovoltaic (PV) systems: a 108 kW roof-mounted system on the
maintenance building, a 108 kW ground-mounted trellis system at the
irrigation wells, and a 108 kW carport structure at the driving
range.
The PV systems are expected to produce more than 44,557 kilowatt
hours (kWh) monthly and offset 60% of the facility's
utility-sourced energy consumption, saving the golf course
approximately $5,000 a month. In addition to providing less costly
electrical power, the custom-designed carport structure provides
golfers at the driving range shade from the sun and cover from any
rain showers.
"We take pride in our status as one of Hawaii's premier golf
courses," said Kyun Kim, Coral Creek's general manager. "We focus
on the customer's experience and strive to keep our facilities
always immaculate. By going solar with Sunetric, we can sustain our
high level of service and while remaining a profitable
business."
Aaron Kirk, Sunetric's president, commented: "Sunetric provides
businesses like Coral Creek Golf Course the best available solar
solutions that can substantially reduce the higher cost of
electricity in Hawaii. As the first public golf course to go solar
on O'ahu, Coral Creek is a perfect example of how more businesses
on the islands are adopting solar to reduce energy costs and
decrease Hawaii's oil dependency."
