When the Minneapolis School District began exploring solar energy solutions for Edison High School, it was incurring high operating expenditures. It needed to reduce energy spend and focus on investing in personnel resources, infrastructure, and educational equipment. To reduce utility bills and make the Edison High School campus sustainable, C2 Energy Capital successfully proposed a solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), with a rooftop and carport solar design using SolarEdge.

An Award-Winning Solution, Built to Last

SolarEdge’s module-level optimization maximizes energy production by constantly tracking the maximum power point of each module. For C2 Energy, that means they can deliver more electricity to their customers; and for Minneapolis Public Schools, that means they can save more money. SolarEdge’s Monitoring Platform also allows C2 Energy to ensure optimal system performance without requiring frequent site visits.
SolarEdge solutions not only make it easier to meet performance guarantees, they also inspire customer confidence and peace of mind with their industry-leading warranty, and by exceeding safety code standards and grid requirements.
