MAGE Solar, a U.S.-based provider of PV and ACPV modules, announced that the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Housing Authority added 16 separate solar PV arrays at the Father Murphy Elderly Living Complex in Shawnee, Okla. The systems were designed and installed by Advanced Solar and Wind Technologies.
The federally recognized government of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation places a strong emphasis on affordable housing, care for the elderly and living in unison with the environment. To further that mission, the Nation recently added solar to its sustainability program.
Residents of the Father Murphy Elderly Living Complex now enjoy clean, renewable energy generated by solar arrays on each of the 16 units in the eight newly constructed duplexes, totaling 40kW. The project was funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development with the goal of lower energy bills each month and gain independence from sudden spikes in utility rates.
The 16 MAGE POWERTEC PLUS systems were designed and installed by Advanced Solar and Wind Technologies of Choctaw, Okla., an experienced solar integrator with almost 1 MW of installed capacity. The savings and increased independence from solar are so popular with the Housing Authority managements that plans for retrofitting older apartment complexes as well as equipping single family homes with solar are on the drawing board.
The industry leading 30-year power guarantee the U.S.-based company provides ensures the owners that the clean energy will be reliably generated for more than a generation to come.
