This project can either stay connected to the grid or take you 100% off the grid so you never have to pay WAPA again. The system is comprised of 1,839(643kW) premium high wattage LG solar panels that will be mounted on every roof available in the generator/maintenance facility area. In order to produce enough solar to run the entire island we proposed three additional structures to be built. 2 structures will be connected to existing structures which will save you material costs. The third structure can be placed anywhere on the property but has been placed over the fueling station as seen in the proposal. Since most of your power purchased from WAPA is spent on R.O. I would like to propose adding a structure that has additional utility like water storage. If you build a large cistern we would cover it with solar panels and make water on days with extra solar production. Additional roofs also create opportunity to catch run-off and collect this water for irrigation. The 650kW/4.2mWh Tesla Powerpack system has been designed to charge up from the 643kW solar array during the day and discharge throughout the night, just like your system on GSJ. This system, fully charged will power your island for 2 days with no sun and can trigger your 2 CAT generators to fire up if the system reaches a low battery set-point. The generator can charge the batteries in 4 hours if needed when a storm is approaching. In the event of your solar system malfunctioning the battery system could charge itself from the generator or the grid for a 4hrs-on and 48hrs-off schedule until the solar has been reinstated. All of these calculations have been based on an average consumption of 2 megawatt-hours per day, which has been determined with ProSolar monitoring equipment installed over a year ago. I will conduct a 10 day energy efficiency study of both Little Saint James and Great Saint James in this contract with the goal of saving 10% of total energy consumption. With this savings we can move forward with the Great Saint James connection to the Little Saint James micro- grid. Once connected we can utilize any extra power production from the 45kW solar farm powering GSJ, which would be otherwise wasted once the batteries have reached 100% capacity. ProSolar would like to play a major role in the electrical engineering and project management of the Inter-Island Cable connection. The project has a high upfront cost but as you will see over 60% of the system costs can be recouped through the Investment Tax Credits(ITC) and the MACRS available for this investment. Please contact your CPA for exact savings. Thank you for this incredible opportunity. We hope that the engineering and customer service you experienced with the Great Saint James Micro-Grid project will positively influence your decision to move forward on this state-of-the-art power solution initiative.
