“Being able to optimize energy production was essential in making this project financially viable. There are a lot of trees and buildings surrounding the City Hall complex. With a traditional string inverter system, even if just one or two modules are shaded, the performance of the entire string is reduced. With SolarEdge, even if sections of the array are impaired, the rest of the modules continue to generate power at full capacity.”

Higher Efficiency + More Uptime = Faster Payback

Arch Solar C&I installed 389 kW SolarEdge DC-optimized PV system. SolarEdge Power Optimizers ensure that should one or more modules underperform due to shading or debris, the other modules will not be affected. As a result, the system continuously delivers maximum clean energy and faster ROI. Furthermore, with SolarEdge, modules have more design flexibility and can be placed in different irradiance, orientations, and uneven strings lengths. This enabled Arch Solar to maximize the system size on the city hall roof.

An Array of Rewards 

The array generated 458,011 kWh of clean energy in the first nine months– equivalent to 55% of the site’s total usage in this period – and reduced carbon emissions by 358 tons. This has put Wauwatosa on track to cut emissions by 50% by 2030. To share its achievement with the local community and other stakeholders, the Council launched a live dashboard where anyone can see how much solar energy is generated.
