Broadlands installed 128 solar panels on the roof of the HOA office building at 21907 Claiborne Parkway to generate power to offset the usage for that building. This nearly 40 kW system can potentially offset over 40 tons of CO2 emissions each year!
Check out the solar energy monitoring website to see how much power our system is currently producing.
Here is a chart showing the energy produced by HOA building’s array (in megawatts) since inception:
