In an era of rising energy costs and growing environmental awareness, the need for sustainable energy solutions has never been greater. <\/span>Pure Energy Group<\/span><\/a>, a leader in the renewable energy sector, has recently completed a noteworthy project at Iseli Nursery, a wholesale plant nursery in Boring, Oregon, aiming to offset the rising electrical bills. This initiative was made possible through a <\/span>USDA REAP Grant<\/span><\/a>, showcasing the power of collaboration and innovation in the renewable energy industry.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Iseli Nursery Solar Project Overview<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

Located in the picturesque foothills of Mt. Hood,<\/span> Iseli Nursery<\/span><\/a> now boasts a state-of-the-art solar array that promises significant energy savings and environmental benefits. The project features seven SMA <\/span>Sunny Highpower PEAK3<\/span><\/a> 125kW inverters and 2,108 Trina 475W panels, designed to provide a robust and reliable power source for the nursery\u2019s extensive operations. The solar array is a fixed tilt ground mount system, offering a substantial 50% offset on the nursery\u2019s electrical bills, with an estimated annual production of 1,273,000 kWh per year.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jordan Sinn, Owner of Pure Energy Group, expressed enthusiasm for the project:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Pure Energy worked alongside helpful material suppliers like SMA for the inverter, Greentech Renewables for the panels, and Unirac for the racking to bring Iseli Nursery’s large PV system into fruition. Nestled in the foothills of Mt. Hood on a southern slope, this system should annually produce over 1.273GWh of power, which is enough to run over 200 homes for a year!”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Key Benefits of SMA Inverters:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The decision to utilize SMA PEAK3 inverters for this project was driven by several key factors:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
