This was a design build project in which Sullivan utilized standing seem clamps to mount the solar array to the new roof without any penetrations in the flat roof. The solar panel system is optimized as it is facing south at latitude tilt and as such, is performing above expectations for kilowatt-hour yield. Sullivan has worked with the client to restructure the facility's electrical rate to one that is more conducive to solar generation. As a result the electric bill for this facility will be completed eliminated. The client is receiving rebates from the California Solar Initiative paid over a five year period based on production from the solar PV system worth nearly 20% of the net cost. In addition, the client received a tax credit worth 30% of the net cost and will be able to depreciation the solar equipment on an accelerated schedule. Sullivan projects the system will pay for itself in just over 5 years.
