The largest private solar installation in the state of California was dedicated on October 24 at Sonoma Mountain Village on the former Hewlett-Packard Agilent Campus in Rohnert Park. This 90,000 square foot solar panel installation provided by Powerlight will generate an impressive 1.14 Megawatts and power the majority of the Business Center, which includes four large office buildings that are being renovated for reuse in this state-of-the-art New Urbanism community.
Put another way, the energy from the system is enough to completely power 750 homes during peak periods and enough to power 400 homes year-round. The installation is one element of many in a new "green" community that will be built over the next ten to fifteen years.
Sonoma Mountain Village is an environmentally-conscious Codding Enterprises community combining new urbanism with sustainability. To learn more visit www.sonomamountainvillage.com
