Phoenix Solar Completes Ground-Mount Solar Facility At Morgan Stanley’s Purchase, NY Corporate Campus
823-kilowatt peak photovoltaic system to offset up to 25% of building’s daily peak electricity use
SAN RAMON, California, February 26, 2014 — Phoenix Solar Inc. (www.phoenixsolar.com) today announced the completion of an 823-kilowatt peak ground-mount solar facility on six acres at Morgan Stanley’s corporate campus in Purchase, New York. Phoenix Solar provided all engineering services, procured a portion of the components, and managed the construction of the solar facility.
The ground-mount solar facility is expected to generate approximately 1,000 MWh of electricity per year, offsetting approximately 5% of the total electricity used at Morgan Stanley’s building, and up to 25% during peak production. The solar project required the installation of more than 3,000 solar panels.
