Wisconsin college expects to save $30,000 annually with solar-plus-storage installation
Ameresco completed a solar-plus-storage installation on the campus of Southwest Wisconsin Technical College. The $1.6 million project includes a 300 kW solar array, and a 125 kW / 220 kWh battery energy storage system (BESS) designed to offset approximately 60% of the electricity requirement. Providing electricity to the college’s Student Services building, the solar installation is expected to reduce utility costs by approximately $30,000 per year and provide critical backup power to the building in the event of an outage.
