Anaheim Convention Center Solar Energy System

Borrego Solar completed a 2.4 MW DC Roof-Mounted Solar PV System at the Anaheim Convention Center for the City of Anaheim and the Anaheim Public Utilities. On October 7, 2014, a dedication ceremony was held to celebrate the project’s completion. The $5.7 million project managed by Anaheim Public Utilities was completed mid-August by Borrego Solar Systems Inc., a leading designer, developer, installer and financier of grid tied solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The installation covers 300,000 square feet on the rooftop of Exhibit Halls A, B and C. With 7,908 installed solar panels, at the time of it’s completion, the installation was the largest city-owned, convention center, roof-mounted system in North America. The system will generate an estimated 3.6 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually — enough energy to power 600 homes for a year. Anaheim Public Utilities is incorporating the project into its renewable energy portfolio. The installation marks the building’s newest sustainability feature; the LEED certified Convention Center maintains a commitment to sustainability through initiatives such as an on-site recycling program, farm to fork culinary program, an on-site composting facility, and a rooftop herb garden.
