    Ambassador Energy Completes a 53 Kilowatt Solar PV Project for a 53 Year Old Company in California’s Central Agricultural Region

    PRWeb – Tue, Jan 31, 2012

    The clock was ticking at the end of 2011 for Swenson Shear, who had a reservation for solar rebates with the local utility company, Turlock Irrigation District. Swenson’s executives engaged Ambassador Energy to perform to the tight timeline and install a complicated two-location solar PV system.

    For Swenson Shear, the desire to “go green” outweighed the stress of hitting an extreme deadline. “We have wanted to go solar for some time,” said Dean Doerksen, president of Swenson Shear. “With travel, trade shows and catering to an international client base, we found ourselves making a last minute decision, which lead us to contact Ambassador Energy. We interviewed several local solar firms and found Ambassador Energy to have the qualifications and horsepower we needed to get the job done. Out of everyone we interviewed, Ambassador was the only one in our area with NABCEP certified solar PV installers and sales professionals.”

    To accomplish the task, Ambassador Energy designed a solar system, which included both ground-mounted and roof-mounted arrays. They took advantage of the optimal azimuth of the building’s roof and added a supplemental array on the ground near the parking lot. They also opted for underground horizontal boring through the earth for the wire conduit, minimizing asphalt and landscape damage.

    Having essentially two separate systems further burdened the deadline, but the Ambassador Energy team was able to perform. They designed the system, procured permits and installed the solar panels, inverters and balance of system, hitting the tough Turlock Irrigation District [TID] timeline target.

    “Our utility bills ranged from $800 to $1500 per month,” said Doerksen. “By installing solar equipment, our bills will be offset by 75-85%. We will be immune to any extraordinary utility rate hikes and will send a strong message to the community and our customers that we are doing our part to make the environment stronger. Becoming environmentally friendly is becoming a bigger issue with our international and national clientele. They want to know what we are doing to help the planet. This is a great first step.”

    Doerksen continued, “We want to show the community what this means to a business like ours. So, we asked Ambassador Energy to design a ‘show-friendly’ inverter display wall. We are so thrilled with the work done by AE and our ‘go green’ message that we are inviting all of our friends, neighbors and the public to visit us at our Turlock location anytime for a tour of the system.”
