Parkersburg-Marietta Contractors and Trades Educational and Development Fund installed a new solar system in the spring of 2017 which will provide about 85% of the energy used by the building in an average year. This 13.7 kW system uses 48 Suniva (US ARRA Compliant) 285 watt panels and Enphase M-250 microinverters. The mounting system is Ironridge aluminum rail, manufactured in the US. This system will produce approximately 15,700 kWH of power per year, or enough to power 1.4 average American homes.
