ECI Installs Solar Panels at Woodchuck Cider Brewery
ECI recently completed the installation of 26 solar trackers for All Earth Renewables and their customer, Woodchuck Hard Cider Company. Each tracker has a rated output of 5,640 watts. The Trackers are more efficient than fixed arrays because they “track” the sun across the sky to achieve the most direct sunlight for the optimum energy production.
ECI’s scope of work included installation of the helical foundations, installation of underground conduits, assembly of tracker framing, and installation of PV panels. ECI also supplies the helical foundations which were manufactured by Ideal Foundation Systems of Webster, NY.
The following Woodchuck Blog contains a detailed description of their project along with photos of construction and the completed work.
