Take a Look at New Solar in Santa Monica
This week Solar Santa Monica staff (Drew Lowell-Britt and Michael Ware) visited two of Santa Monica's newest commercial solar installations. The systems installed by Martifer Solar (a Solar Santa Monica Preferred Contractor) were unique in design.
The first stop on our tour was the newly constructed UCLA Medical Offices near Wilshire and 17th St. Approximately 90 kW DC of solar adorn the roof of the building. The architect wanted the panels installed flat for aesthetic purposes.

The second stop on our tour was the Santa Monica Place Mall where Martifer installed approximately 100 kW DC of solar. The solar helps to offset common area electricity usage.

The panels are on racks that only require roof penetrations on the corners (for seismic safety). This ballasted racking system also uses bricks to weigh down the array. |
