Spanning over 500 luscious acres in San Luis Obispo County, Treasury Winery Estates’ vineyards are located in California’s coastal mountain range. This project included installation of solar panels over the rooftops of the wine storage and grape crushing facilities. The winery received a new roof in the process of the solar installation. This cost was included as part of the installation. The installation spreads across three roof areas and interconnects to two PG&E Net Meters.
As a part of the installation, National Semiconductor’s Solar Magic device was included to see how output can be improved in shaded areas. Calibrated Cells were implemented in conjunction with pyranometers to see the differences in radiation on a tilted plane. At the request of the owner, a Performance Ratio test was completed on commissioning, and at the end of sequential years. The system has been performing above expectations.
