FIRST Car Rental has
installed its first solar
power plant at First Car
Rental Pomona. Located
across three large rooftops
containing 415 photovoltaic
panels of 320 watts each,
the solar power plant will
produce on average 226.8
MWh of electricity per annum.
SolarXgen, the installation
company, started building
the solar power plant in
November and took three
weeks to complete the
project. The plant is linked
to the power mains via an
inverter and offsets the
power normally consumed
from the utility company. This
system does not store power
– all the power generated
from the photovoltaic panels
system will be used on-site
and the power plant will run
in tandem with the utility
power grid during the day.
First Car Rental goes green
