ESA Renewables, a leading turnkey solar system provider, recently announced the installation of a photovoltaic energy generating solar array on the US Virgin Island of St. John.
“As solar panels are installed on an increasing number of commercial rooftops, we see a significant reduction on the buildings’ total energy costs,” said Jeffrey Burkett, President of ESA Renewables. “Additionally, as more businesses strive to reduce their carbon footprint, a solar photovoltaic system such as the one ESA Renewables recently installed at the eco-villa resort on St. John makes sense, not only financially, but environmentally as well.”
“At Eco Serendib Villa and Spa, we are not only dedicated to offering our guests a luxury environment that exceeds expectations, but also one that minimizes the carbon footprint,” said Harith Wickrema, president of award-winning Harith Productions Ltd. and the villa’s visionary. “ESA Renewables has been a valuable part of making that ideal a reality and we are delighted to have partnered with them on this project.”
The 16kW rooftop solar energy generating system in St. John’s utilizes high efficiency solar cells and modules from Suniva and is expected to produce more than 23,360 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per year by converting sunlight into pollution-free electricity. It is expected to offset over 35,512 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) each year. That’s the equivalent of taking over 1,100 cars off the road for a day.
Having made every effort to be luxurious while being green, Eco Serendib Villa and Spa will utilize the solar array to meet their electric needs such as: guest room power, pool pump equipment, gourmet kitchen, and the resort’s external lighting. The villa is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and has incorporated a number of eco-friendly products that fit with its green mission and goals.
