Lummi Elder Care Center
Solar Installation

COMMERCIAL SOLAR CASE STUDY

Whatcom County, Washington  |  Completed March 2025

Project Overview

VECOR delivered a 114-module commercial photovoltaic system for the Lummi Elder Care Center. The 47.31 kW DC installation demonstrates VECOR’s ability to execute larger solar projects with coordinated electrical planning, utility interface, and field installation under one accountable local contractor.

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.

Explore a commercial solar scenario.

Use the commercial solar estimator to explore editable system size, production and cost assumptions. Results are planning estimates; a site review and written proposal establish the scope for your property.

Estimated production and savings are modeled values. Actual performance and savings vary with weather, shading, system availability, utility rates, and site operating conditions.
