Solar-Fit has finished installing solar power systems on Palm Coast’s new fire stations — No. 26 at 72 Airport Commerce Center Way and No. 22 on the northeast corner of Palm Coast Parkway and Colbert Lane.
The installations took about six weeks for each building, Solar-Fit CEO Bill Gallagher said.
“Each facility has 305- to 590-watt solar panels, totaling 179,950 watts of DC power. Each system is projected to produce over 250,000 kilowatt-hours of free energy per year, resulting in an estimated energy savings of $22,000 to $25,000 annually,” he said.
Solar-Fit also installed the solar power system on the roof of the Southern Recreation Center in Palm Coast a few years ago.
“Palm Coast is leading the way for other municipalities to model regarding renewable energy utilization,” Gallahger said. “We salute our local leaders for the foresight to use the sun’s free energy to reduce the operating expenses of city facilities. These savings benefit all residents in our community.”
