Columbia Place Apartments : Sustainable Living

Columbia Place Apartments is an experience in cozy comforts and simple pleasures. Enjoy a sprawling lawnscape with soft grass, a charming gazebo, and a beautiful, lush garden greets you and your guests at the entrance. The parking garage roof is equipped with over 160 solar modules which covers a significant portion of the common area electric use. With ongoing energy efficiency being incorporated, these comfortable living apartments are making a huge impact on the environment.

Our Challenge: 

Design and install a solar array that will maximize the roof of the parking garage. Provide an accurate rate of return on the initial investment.

Our Solution: 

Utilizing ProSolar’s tilt kit and standoff attachment, we installed 162 modules at an optimized tilt and orientation. Through careful evaluation and proper design, we provided an estimate on the return on investment that still holds up today.

Testimonial:

“After meeting with All Energy Solar,  we brought their numbers to our accountant for verification.  Everything they gave us matched and the payback has been on track to match what was proposed initially.  All Energy Solar took care of everything from the permitting to the final inspection and the hook up of the online monitoring system.  The biggest benefit would be that we can check the production of our installation on their web site.  It is fun to click on to the web site and show my disbelieving friends how well the system is working at our location in Minnesota.” – Doug Jones – Owner
