Mixed-use buildings are becoming a popular sight in today\u2019s urban development landscape. Combining residential and commercial space provides diversified opportunities for property managers and the unique option for residents to live mere steps away from where they work\u2014creating a commute-free living scenario.<\/p>\n

Becoming net-zero<\/h5>\n

Artspace Utah took things a step further by opening Utah\u2019s first mixed-use net-zero complex. Artspace Solar Gardens<\/a> opened in August 2013, boasting a 338kW solar system that generates enough power to offset the complex\u2019s energy demands.<\/p>\n

The system, designed and installed by Sunlight Solar Systems<\/a> of Salt Lake City, uses 372 SunPower 435W roof-mounted modules with 23 Sunny Boy 7000-US<\/a> inverters and 535 SunPower 327W carport-mounted modules with 24 Sunny Boy 7000-US inverters mounted\u00a0outside on four Sunny Towers.<\/p>\n

\"SMA<\/a>

SMA inverters are ready to withstand Salt Lake City\u2019s often harsh winters.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cDuring the project design phase, we knew string inverters would be the best fit for this system. We chose SMA inverters for two main reasons,\u201d said Cammy Staker, Sunlight Solar Systems\u2019 operations manager. \u201cThe ease of installation made it simple for our crew to mount and inspect each inverter and the harsh winter conditions in Salt Lake City meant only the highest quality inverters could be used.\u201d<\/p>\n

Urban living<\/h5>\n

Installing the system was no easy feat. The seven person crew mounted and wired more than 900 modules in six weeks to ensure the complex was ready for its grand opening and\u00a0first set of tenants.<\/p>\n

\"Crews<\/a>

Crews install the carport\u2019s modules using scissor lifts during the complex\u2019s construction.<\/p><\/div>\n

Enjoying downtown living is only one of the perks for tenants: the complex is located within blocks of a bike path and the Salt Lake City\u2019s TRAX light rail system, not to mention the joy of life without a monthly electrical bill. Residents are even encouraged to monitor the system\u2019s power generating through public access to its Sunny Portal page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
