Santa Ana Golf Club<\/a> (SAGC) in Bernalillo, New Mexico, is one of the most celebrated and scenic golf facilities in the American Southwest. Situated on 270 acres, it offers spectacular views of the Sandia Mountains, the Rio Grande and the dormant volcanoes crouched along the West Mesa. It includes a 27-hole championship links-style golf course with five sets of tees on every hole, allowing golfers to play from 5,500 to 7,400 yards. There also is a 22,000-square-foot clubhouse, full-service pro shop, four-star restaurant, casual bar and grille, practice facilities and hospitality quarters.<\/p>\n

Because of its dramatic setting, challenging course and world-class facilities, SAGC has earned the attention of notable publications such as Golf Week<\/em>, Golf Digest<\/em> and The New York Times<\/em>, as well as the PGA<\/a>, which selected it as the venue for its 2009 Professional National Championship.<\/p>\n

And now, Santa Ana Golf Club has one more exclusive feature setting it apart from the rest of the golf world: a 250 kW PV system providing nearly all of the facility\u2019s power.<\/p>\n

New Mexico\u2019s first solar-powered golf club<\/strong><\/h5>\n

To meet SAGC\u2019s financial and sustainability goals, Albuquerque-based engineering, procurement and construction company Osceola Energy<\/a> designed a solar carport to generate energy for the golf club\u2019s facilities while also providing shade for its parking lot. Energy is harvested by 840 Canadian Solar<\/a> Max Power CS6X 310W polycrystalline solar panels, which are capable of producing 250 kilowatts (DC) per hour, which are fed into five SMA\u00a0Sunny Tripower<\/a> 15000TL-US and six\u00a0Sunny Tripower 24000TL-US transformerless, three-phase inverters.<\/p>\n

\u201cSMA is a quality brand that has been field tested and offers the versatility and reliability we look for in every solar project we install,\u201d said Christopher Fortson, marketing manager for Osceola Energy.<\/p>\n

\"Sunny<\/a>

Sunny Tripower inverters completely blend in, thanks to custom paint and Osceola Energy\u2019s attention to detail.<\/p><\/div>\n

The SAGC system is expected to generate 566,662 kWh annually and offset 95 percent of the facilities\u2019 power usage. That will save the SAGC over $2 million in electricity costs while reducing carbon emissions by over 800,000 pounds annually.<\/p>\n

Focus on design<\/strong><\/h5>\n

With such a picturesque backdrop, aesthetics were equally important to SAGC when it came to the carport\u2019s design. Osceola Energy focused on incorporating beautiful, one-of-a-kind architectural elements including custom paint that seamlessly integrates the structure\u2014and inverters–into the surrounding buildings, and LED lighting, among many others. \u201cThe beautifully crafted Spanish-style steel corbels and locally sourced, hand-blown glass pieces bring a touch of elegance, illustrating the beauty and functionality that solar can lend to architecture, when done with an eye for design,\u201d said Fortson.<\/p>\n
