Carol Springs recently took a major step toward a more sustainable and cost-efficient future by commissioning a 63.84-kilowatt (kW) ground-mounted solar energy system from Sun Valley Solar Solutions. Designed using over 165 high-efficiency REC 380W solar modules, the new system is built for long-term reliability and performance.

The solar array is expected to generate more than 121,600 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean electricity in its first year alone. That’s enough to significantly reduce Carol Springs’ utility bills while protecting the property against rising energy costs for decades to come.

Beyond cost savings, the environmental impact of the installation is substantial. In its first year of operation, the system is projected to offset carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to nearly 95,000 pounds of coal burned or more than 5,900 gallons of gasoline consumed.

With this investment, Carol Springs is not only gaining greater control over operating expenses but also advancing its commitment to sustainability.

As the head of Marketing at Sun Valley Solar Solutions, Kyle works hard to demystify the ever-changing solar landscape in Arizona and across the country. He especially enjoys helping people separate fact from fiction by presenting solar transparently and accurately, rather than relying on hype or deceptive marketing tactics that are far too common with some solar companies.

When not touting the benefits of solar, encouraging his friends to opt for paper over plastic, or growing his own vegetables, Kyle is generally found hiking with his pointer Bravo or preparing a home-cooked meal for friends.
