NEWARK, DE (May 23, 2012) –Motech Americas LLC, a solar company with a 20-year
heritage of manufacturing the highest quality solar panels, announced today that Ray
Angelini, Inc. (RAI) (www.raiservices.com) has won their East Coast Installation of the
Year award for its solar photovoltaic (PV) system installations for the Long Branch
School District, Long Branch, NJ. For a project to qualify as a Motech Installation of
the Year it must embody innovative design, quality workmanship, efficient installation
and best-in-class safety practices.
RAI utilized Motech IM60 235W solar modules manufactured in Delaware to
successfully complete the design and installation of 10 solar photovoltaic (PV) system
installations for the district—eight roof arrays and two canopy arrays. The largest
array—559 kW consisting of 2,379 panels—was installed on the roof of the high school.
There were seven other locations throughout the district where RAI installed solar
panels, including a 100kW installation at Anastasia Elementary School, a 62kW
installation at Gregory Elementary School, 156kW at Lenna Conrow Elementary School,
101kW at Audrey Clark Elementary School, 773kW at Long Branch Middle School,
189kW at Morris Avenue School, and 14kW at the Long Branch Board of Education.
Many of the school district buildings have flat roofs that receive direct, unobstructed
sunlight allowing the panels to gather and generate optimal solar power. In addition to
the schools roofs being outfitted with solar panels, there are also solar canopies in two
school parking lots. The system will produce over 2,357 kW annually, providing
approximately 25% of the peak energy demand of the school district, saving over
$421,949 per year in electricity costs. By utilizing the solar panels, the district is also
receiving solar renewable energy credits, which could generate additional funds for the
schools. All of these locations are now generating solar energy as the panels have
been activated.< br />
“We are proud to provide solar modules to an organization as rich in solar experience
and knowledge as RAI,” stated Derick Botha, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for
Motech Americas. “RAI cares about their customers and the community. We at Motech
appreciate the opportunity to work with such a professional organization.”
RAI has also provided the district with kiosks that educate students about the solar
energy process.
