SIEMENS TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS
1.159 MW DC

Siemens Transportation Systems is host to a 1.159 MW DC solar installation system installed on a parking lot and the roof of a manufacturing/office building at the company's Sacramento facility. 

The system is comprised of over 5,200 photovoltaic panels, occupying nearly 94,000 square feet, and will provide the manufacturing facility with nearly 50 percent of its electricity needs from renewable solar energy. The panels installed on the parking lot serve as covered carports. 

PES combined conventional financing, construction and permanent debt and equity, with the federal energy tax credits program to fund the entire installation without capital investment from the host. 

The total project will generate 36,736,724 kWh, eliminating more than 737 tons of CO2 emissions annually.

The reduction of 737 tons of CO2 is equivalent to:

• Taking 7,933 passenger cars off the roads for a year

• Planting 200 acres of trees each year
