THINKSOLAR COMPLETES 650kW ARRAY IN HAWTHORNE, CA

“I’m proud to announce the completion of this beautiful solar plant,” says ThinkSolar CEO Elmar Niewerth. “The expert installation by Pacific Solar Energy and professional teamwork among manufacturers allowed us to deliver a state of the art PV array in time and on budget.”

The rooftop installation at Lithographix’s 250,000 square foot facility near Los Angeles International Airport, features Schott ASE300 solar panels, selected for their durability and double glass encapsulation, Solectria inverters and a custom-designed UniRac ballast racking system.

The array, commissioned on December 15, is already performing up to standard and is expected to offset Lithographix’s energy demands by 30%.

Lithographix President Herb Zebrack remarked, “We are very pleased with the efficient installation, impressive results and our decision to go solar.” Lithographix is one of the nation’s premier commercial, retail and grand format printers. The array is the largest deployment of solar power of any U.S. commercial printer.
