Lofty solar array, courtesy Jade K Patrick D&E Management’s lofts just got an energy boost.

The Minneapolis lofts just received a 12 kW solar array, which boasts a carbon offset equivalent of 21,602 pounds of carbon, 1,193 gallons of gas saved and the equivalent of 273 trees saved each year.

Solarflow Energy installed 52 solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on the loft’s roof. This grid-tied installation uses 230 watt solar panels, an 11.96 kW DC system. D&E Management is part of an innovative solar leasing pilot project through Solarflow Energy. The building will offset more than 100 percent of its common-area electrical use through solar PV.
