Hire Electric’s 7.5kw Solar Array Goes Online

Jonathan Lewis — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 10:42:58 +0000

Since 1935 Hire Electric has been providing quality electrical installations to homes and businesses throughout the Columbia River Gorge. Now we are moving into the future with the latest in on-site power generating technology.

The 7.5kw solar installation will consist of 36, Sanyo 210 watt solar modules and use Enphase micro inverters to turn the solar energy into power that can synchronize with North Wasco PUD’s utility grid.

Solar energy will replace about 30% of Hire Electric’s current power consumption.

You can see how much power we are producing right now at our Enphase Monitoring Website.

Stop by and visit any time.
