July 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Suntrek Industries Inc. Completes Solar Energy Project for Yosemite National Park

700KW System is Largest in National Park Service

Irvine, California (July 26, 2011):  Suntrek Industries, Inc. of Irvine, California has completed a 700KW solar system for Yosemite National Park. This innovative project incorporates over 2,800 solar collectors that will produce over 800,000 Kilowatt hours annually, saving the National Park Service millions of dollars over the course of the system’s warranty life of 25 years. In addition, millions of tons of carbon dioxide will be saved from entering the Earth’s atmosphere.

Suntrek collaborated with the National Park Service, Taylor Teter, and PIA to bring this    very high profile project from conception to completion. On July 27th the National Park Service will conduct a national media event and ribbon cutting ceremony on the premises of Yosemite’s Maintenance Facility campus.

Suntrek project manager Alex Smith explains, “Yosemite is the jewel of our National Park system and Suntrek Industries, Inc. could not be prouder of the fact that efforts of the NPS and the solar energy teams to design and build this project went without a hitch. We designed the systems so that we could produce clean solar energy from roof tops, car ports, construction yard walls, and the façade of the building itself. This was an architecturally diverse project for everyone to admire and all the components are made in the USA.”

“This energy-saving photovoltaic project reflects Yosemite National Park’s commitment to sustainable and renewable energy sources.” said Yosemite National Park Superintendent Don Neubacher.

Suntrek President and CEO Roy Heine commented, “The Yosemite solar system took years of planning by the National Park Service.  With limited roof space available, the design challenge was met by the maintenance facility’s building walls that were not only oriented to the South but were at an angle suitable for great solar gain based on their unique architecture.”
