WV Wesleyan Carport Charging Station

Carport Solar Power Installation and EV Charging Station

Pickering Energy Solutions donated a solar power system to West Virginia Wesleyan College in April of 2016. This system is located on the roof of the library. Pickering Energy Solutions has recently partnered with WVWC again to install a carport solar structure, and this system will include 4 electric vehicle charging stations, located near the Performing Arts Center.

This carport structure is cantilevered over 14’ deep foundations, and holds 152-Silfab 300W panels and 2-SMA TriPower 30 kW inverters. This 46 kW system will produce approximately 52,000 kWH of energy annually.

This solar system will:

• Save the College approximately $ 700. per year in utility costs.
• Produce the annual amount of power required for almost average 5 homes using renewable energy.
• Avoid the release of 54 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually; the equivalent of 44 acres of trees, or the annual output of 11 automobiles.

Thanks to the leadership of WV Wesleyan for promoting and encouraging sustainable energy technologies on campus. Thanks to Appalachian Renewable Power for the installation and commissioning of the solar system.
