GRID ALTERNATIVES SOLAR PROJECT SHINES AT SOBOBA
The Soboba Fire Station Microgrid project is set to begin this month starting with the installation of a concrete platform to host the Vanadium Redox Flow Battery system provided by Invinity Energy Systems. A carport canopy, 59kW solar array, located at the rear parking lot will not only provide shade for team member cars but more importantly will support the solar panels that will be connected to the grid. The project will be providing cost savings to the facility and backup power for emergency operations during power outages.
