VECOR Scope of Work
A practical, locally delivered solar installation designed to reduce long-term purchased energy use.
- Photovoltaic system layout and electrical planning
- Complete system wiring and equipment connections
- Grounding and electrical integration
- Coordination with the serving utility
Estimated Energy Value
At an estimated annual production of 55,700 kWh and an assumed electricity value of $0.17 per kWh, the system is projected to offset approximately $9,500 in purchased electricity each year.
The project provides a strong example of how commercial-scale solar can convert available roof area into a long-term operating asset.
