McCoy Athletic Facility
Marietta College’s Sustainable Energy Program included power production from a 25 kW wind generator and both a solar thermal system and 2 kW solar PV system on their Pioneer Dorm. The new 25 kW Solar PV system on the roof of the McCoy Athletic Facility at Marietta College is their next renewable energy project, and which should provide 60-70% of the energy requirements for the building.
This system is comprised of 100 Suniva 250 Watt poly-crystalline panels (which provide the blue background) and Enphase M215 Microinverters.
In evaluating the siting for the solar PV system, the McCoy building provided a roof in good condition with excellent solar orientation. This site is also on the corner of the campus which makes a public statement that Marietta College is progressive in its embracing of new technologies and awareness of the environmental impacts of its energy use.
This project is owned by Pickering Energy Solutions and power is sold under a Power Purchase Agreement with Marietta College. The engineering was provided by Pickering Associates, Inc. and the installation was provided by Davis Pickering, the Foremen for the project being Scott Offenberger (IBEW Local # 972) and Dave Lamp (IBEW Local # 968).
