Completed in mid 2011, Bella Energy provided the turnkey installation and financial consulting for a Sun Edison PPA with the City of Broomfield. The project is located at two sites; providing 189 kW of solar energy generation for the City.
The first is an 89 kW ground mounted array at the wastewater treatment plant. The second is a 100 kW ground mounted array for the Broomfield Detention Center. The array runs across a hilltop with highly variable terrain and very high wind speeds.
In 2011, Bella Energy completed 298 kW of solar for the City of Louisville. The projects provide power to the City’s water and waste water treatment plants. Each array is a 99 kW ground-mount system located on variable terrain surrounding the water treatment centers.
Bella Energy provided a turnkey installation and financing partners for the project, allowing the City to realize greater savings v.s. a conventional purchase.
Completed in the summer of 2011, Bella Energy’s 140 kW project with the City of Lafayette provides power to 2 unique sites. The project was completed thanks to PPA financing arranged by Bella Energy, allowing the city to realize solar power without negatively impacting the budget. The City of Lafayette project consists of a ground mount array at City Hall and a roof mounted system atop the Rec. Center.
In the winter of 2010, Bella Energy completed 198 kW of solar energy systems for the Town of Superior. Designed to cover over 8% of the Town of Superior’s electric consumption, the project covered 2 different sites.
The ground mounted 99 kW arrays are located at the waste water and water treatment facilities. Annually the systems produce more than 280,000 kWh of clean energy and reduce the Town’s electric costs by more than $14,000. In addition, the town receives $22,800 per year in renewable energy credit payments from the local utility. In total the Town’s investment will produce a perpetually positive cash flow in excess of $500,000.
