Independent Energy Solutions, Inc. to Install Three Photovoltaic Systems for Quartz Hill Water District

Vista, CA, August 07, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Independent Energy Solutions, Inc. (IES), a leading solar energy development and construction firm, is pleased to announce it has been awarded a contract to build three photovoltaic (PV) systems for Quartz Hill Water District at their well sites in Quartz Hill, California. Each system will be ground-mounted, making excellent use of the empty space around each well site while creating clean, renewable energy for the water district.

The first system will have a capacity of 151 kW DC (STC) and will produce 247,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) in its first year. A slightly smaller, 102 kW DC (STC), system will be built at the second site and is expected to produce about 171,000 kWh in its first year. The third and largest system will have a capacity of 243 kW DC (STC), approximately producing over 400,000 kWh in its first year. SolarWorld modules will be installed at all three sites, chosen for their high standards of quality, performance and durability. The environmental impact of building these three systems over a 25 year period is the equivalent of planting about 300 acres of trees. Over 30 years, these three systems will generate an estimated combined energy value of over $5.5 million.

Linda Strand, President of IES, notes, “IES is excited to work with Quartz Hill Water District to generate green, clean energy via these customized installations. Thanks to Quartz Hill Water District’s dedication to sustainable solutions and renewable energy, their customers will reap the financial and environmental benefits of solar power for years to come.”

Quartz Hill Water Districts Operations Supervisor, Brent Byrne explains, “One of the largest costs in pumping water is the ever escalating power rates. This solar option will help us keep those costs down.” Chad Reed added, “Starting with the Board of Directors, and myself as General Manager, our entire TEAM works in unison, keeping in mind the slogan ‘Quartz Hill Water District and nature, working together for water today and tomorrow.’ This project seems to be a natural fit in meeting our objective of delivering the highest quality water possible at the lowest rates. After months of research, we have selected IES to design and install our new solar energy system, and trust that they are the most qualified and fit for this project.” For more information about Quartz Hill Water District, please visit: www.qhwd.org
