The Navy has a hand in a new array of solar panels that could have an outsized influence on energy resilience in the US and elsewhere.
The solar array won’t entirely sub in for diesel fuel, but it is expected to save the community more than $200,000 per year on fuel expenses alone. In addition, maintenance costs are expected to drop as use of the diesel generators is minimized.It may seem a simple matter to unplug a diesel generator and plug in a new array of solar panels, but the Shungnak project is far more complicated.
As a result, Shungnak has become a showcase for AVEC’s new solar-plus-storage profile, and it also represents the highest penetration of solar power in a community within AVEC’s service territory.Now that AVEC has taken the leap, other communities in Alaska have a model to follow. That could be just the beginning.
The cost savings are just one beneficial aspect of the project. Minimizing the use of diesel generators also has a quality-of-life impact on communities.
