Commercial Solar in Mountain View
At Proteus Industries in Mountain View, Synergy Power’s rooftop solar project brings on-site energy generation to a commercial property. The system combines 305 Jinko solar panels with two SMA Sunny Tripower CORE2 inverters, turning available roof space into a source of solar power.
Project Scope: Rooftop Solar
- Location: Mountain View, California 94041
- Project type: Commercial solar
- Solar array: 305 Jinko JKM465M-7RL3-TV panels
- Solar capacity: 141.8 kW DC
- Inverters: Two SMA Sunny Tripower CORE2 inverters
- Roof type: TPO
- Estimated annual production: 197,703 kWh
Solar Power for Everyday Operations
The rooftop array uses 465-watt Jinko panels, with SMA inverters forming the core of the system’s power conversion equipment. The proposal estimates that solar will offset 60.96% of the property’s annual electricity use, helping Proteus Industries reduce its reliance on utility energy.
Projected Financial Benefits
- Return on investment: 939.8%
- Payback period: 1.6 years
- PG&E year-one savings: $64,234
- PG&E savings over 30 years: $2,933,586
Financial and energy production figures are estimates from the project proposal. Savings depend on the proposal’s utility rate assumptions and actual system performance.
