SOLAR ENERGY EXPERIENCE

BUCKEYE UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT
SOLAR INSTALLATION

The Buckeye Union High School District Solar Installation project, built for
Constellation Solar Arizona, LLC, included the new construction of 4.29 megawatt
photovoltaic solar arrays at two schools located in Buckeye, Arizona and one
school in Goodyear, Arizona. The array functions as a renewable power source
by converting solar energy from direct current into alternating current and
distributing energy to the service entrance sections of each school. Construction
of the photovoltaic solar arrays consisted of mounting 15,468 solar cells on 29
steel carport canopy shade structures and two ground mounted systems. Due to
CORE’s energy efficient construction practices, the Buckeye Union High School
District Solar Installation project met the goal of earning incentives for solar
energy from Arizona Public Service by providing 70% of the District’s energy
needs through renewable solar energy.
