Array Overview
The new solar photovoltaic array at the Willis A. Smith headquarters building consists of sixty American-made, Evergreen Solar Inc. silicon solar panels. The total power of the solar array is 12.3 kilowatts, and will produce an estimated 20,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. The array will eliminate approximately 44,000 pounds of CO2 per year.
Attachment System
The solar panels attach to the new Willis A. Smith headquarters roof using S-5 Systems Inc.'s standing seam panel clamps. These clamps eliminate the need to penetrate the roof system to attach the solar array, and ensure a totally secure, weatherproof, easy to maintain, long-life installation. The S-5 clamp system is available for a wide variety of metal roof systems, including all Butler Building roofs.
