The WRNMMC, located in Bethesda, Md., recently installed a 297kW solar parking canopy at The Wounded Warrior Lodge, an extended-stay treatment and rehabilitation facility for wounded service members. The solar canopy covers a six-story parking deck and was installed by sub-contractor, SolBright Renewable Energy and managed by contractor dck worldwide and partner TtEC.
“The canopy solar system was designed to leverage existing real estate at the WRNMMC”, said Patrick Hassell, managing director of SolBright Renewable Energy. “Using high-powered panels enabled us to get the maximum power in the space provided.”
The energy yielded from the array will be used to help offset the power used at the medical center and will also serve as a tool to provide shade to patrons’ vehicles while at the center.
