The Discovery Museum is open all year round. The plan calls for activities like becoming carbon-neutral, reducing water usage, minimizing waste, and sustainable investment. The array comes as part of Discovery Museum’s five-year sustainability plan, unanimously approved by its board of directors last June. Currently, the Haley House, a soup kitchen in Roxbury, Massachusetts, has signed on for discounted renewable energy, and three more nonprofits will be announced. The array was oversized so that 50% of the power generated will serve all the needs of the museum, and the other 50% will be sold to local nonprofit organizations at a discounted rate. RBI Solar was the racking manufacturer, which supplied its CP-Truss model racking for the installation. The string inverters have integrated arc fault protection, three maximum power point trackers with five inputs each, modbus connectors, remote diagnostics, and are compliant with UL 1741SA. An outdoor LID demonstration exhibit was installed at The Discovery Museums in Acton, an ideal location for homeowners, contractors, and municipal staff to. The modules are warranted to have an output of 83.1% at the end of the 25-year warranty.įour Solectria PVI 60TL inverters were selected for this project, and Solectria provided monitoring for the system, built-in with the inverter capabilities. The Eagle 72HM modules have a 25-year standard output warranty, 20.13% efficiency, and 2.8 W rated power per cell.
The array consists of 808 Jinko Solar 405 W PV modules. The system is designed to produce 365.89 MWh each year, equivalent to the carbon sequestered by 307 acres of US forests each year. The solar canopy project was estimated to cost slightly more than $1 million, while the total 25-year savings is expected to close to $1.3 million.
