Grass Valley Schools Foundation for Arts and Sciences’ Flags over the Foothills red, white, and blue flags were on full display in downtown Grass Valley for Memorial Day Monday.
Be it enterprise-level, commercial or utility-scale, field service plays a vital role for maintenance and repair. The availability of technology enriches performance and operations in various ways.
Among all the partners who contributed to making the installation a reality, the pantry has one person in particular to thank North Hunterdon High School student Evan Kuster.
“As a volunteer of the Food Pantry, I knew the pantry had a significant electricity expense for the refrigerators and thought that solar energy could save the pantry a bunch of money,” shared Kuster, Class of 2022. “My dad works at a solar energy development company called Merit SI, and he suggested we ask for donations to fund the solar system for the pantry.”
So, the Kusters asked, and solar industry leaders responded. Rallying around their vision of impact, project partners First Solar (modules), OMCO Solar (mounting), and Pro-Circuit Electrical Contracting (electrical and labor) signed on to the project, joining Merit SI (infrastructure design and engineering).
