- The array includes 272, 400-watt rated panels.
- the unique bi-facial (two-sided) design of the panels allows the array to maximize absorption throughout the day, at a rate of 10-20% more than traditional monofacial panels.
- Solar panels produce electricity even on cloudy days, usually around 10-20% of the energy produced on sunny days. The credit is larger in the summer months, since the days are longer and more days are sunny.
- Members were able to purchase a panel or two, and they receive a monthly bill credit based on their portion of the array's generation for that month. Credits are approximately $3-$20 per month. PEC currently does not have any panels for purchase.
The solar garden's interconnection with the existing grid allows the generated power to be used by the PEC Member Service Center whenever possible, and distributed to PEC members.
