Why I Went Solar: JCC Scottsdale, AZ | American Solar Energy Society

This column not only features residential homes going solar, but also businesses and organizations that want to go solar as well. This process can be a challenge for non-profits, but the Jewish Community Center (JCC) in Scottsdale, AZ figured out how to successfully make it work. The JCC has just gone 90% solar powered from a 1.3 MW Photovoltaic Solar Power Array system. The JCC used 5,685 Centrosolar E235 modules that the Green Choice Solar team installed between the JCC’s roof and 400 solar carport structures throughout the parking lot. By having Centrosolar team up with Green Choice Solar, it allowed the JCC to have a successful installation to help reduce their overall energy costs.
