EMCOR Group has announced that its subsidiary Dynalectric Company of Oregon has begun work on a solar power array (multiple photovoltaic solar panels) for Portland Habilitation Center, a non-profit organization that trains and employs individuals with disabilities throughout Oregon and Washington state.

When completed, it will be one of the largest solar electric systems in Oregon.

Dynalectric will design and install the solar array and all supporting electrical systems. The installation consists of 4,830 solar panels, an 870 KW DC solar array, and a wiring system designed to maximize the efficiency of its photovoltaic capabilities.

Seven 125 KVA inverters will be located at the south perimeter of the Habilitation Center's new industrial center in Northeast Portland and the 60,000-square-foot solar array will be designed without any building envelope roof penetrations, which means it maintains the integrity of the roof to prevent water leakage.

In addition, the renewable energy generated from the system will power expansion of the Habilitation Center's in-house manufacturing, assembly, order fulfillment, courier, and warehousing services.

Further, any excess energy generated from the photovoltaic electrical system will be delivered to Portland's local utility grid, and the Habilitation Center's electrical bill will be credited.

"Green energy sources and the generation of renewable energy continues to gain traction across the nation; this project epitomizes the benefits of solar energy.

"This installation is one of the most sophisticated in which we are participating and will allow the Habilitation Center and, by extension, the people of the Pacific Northwest, the opportunity to utilize an affordable, efficient, and sustainable energy solution that is on the cutting edge of available technology," said Randy Wagner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dynalectric Company of Oregon.
