In 98-degree weather with the sun shining brightly above them, hundreds of employees and a handful of local dignitaries gathered under a tent at 11 a.m. Monday to celebrate the new 6-acre solar farm at Schneider Electric.
Adjacent to the celebration sits a field of roughly 3,500 solar panels that pull enough energy from the sun to power 25 percent of Schneider Electric's 195,000-square-foot Smyrna facility at 330 Weakley Lane. The energy management company,Unlike traditional cube puzzle , which employs 1,250 people in the state,Initially the banks didn't want our high risk merchant account . also has facilities in La Vergne and Nashville and has operations in more than 100 countries.
The $6.25 million solar farm is one of three in the state at the 1 megawatt level, though the panels aren't always generating an entire megawatt.the oil paintings for sale by special invited artist for 2011, Monday afternoon, a screen in the breakroom at Schneider showed that the solar farm was generating 721 kilowatts of power.
"This morning at 7 o'clock, we were producing 10 kilowatts when the sun was just coming over the trees," explained Facilities Manager Edwin Wilhite.
Wilhite said the solar farm was 15 months in the making with 10 months of engineering and five months of construction. Schneider Electric signed a 10-year contract with Tennessee Valley Authority to sell its solar power and then buy it back. Schneider also received at 30 percent federal tax credit.
"I know at some point in time we all realized this project was bigger than just another project," said Wilhite,Our Ventilation system was down for about an hour and a half, who later added, "As a society, we're using energy faster than we can generate."
Schneider anticipates the solar farm could save customers as much as a third on their electric bills.
"This location has had the best turnaround to customers this year," Schneider Electric U.S. Country President Jeff Drees said. "I just want to thank all of the employees. ... This is about a commitment of walking the talk. This financial solution does work for customers. The financial viability of solar power does work."
