Description
Description | A solar-plus-battery energy storage project developed by Sunrock Distributed Generation is now fully operational at the County Jail in Salinas, Monterey County. The project includes a 1.243 MW solar carport system and a 1.043 MW / 2.087 MWh battery energy storage system using Tesla technology, expected to generate over 2,000 MWh of clean electricity annually, covering about 55% of the jail's electricity consumption and reducing carbon emissions by approximately 1,000 metric tons per year. The project was financed through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with no upfront capital investment, expected to save the Monterey County Sheriff's Office over $12 million over its lifetime. |
