Northwest Community Farm received an award to install a 34.2 kW DC capacity ground-mounted system that includes ground-mounted racking and foundations, trenching, underground cabling, and electrical system components. The system will interconnect to Eversource’s grid and will be eligible for Eversource’s netting program. The system will produce approximately 46,488 kWh a year and offset approximately 381% of the farm’s historical annual electricity consumption, which is sized to accommodate a future expansion incorporating three additional greenhouses, as well as generate approximately $14,727.00 in annual electricity savings.
