Client Profile
Onsite Energy was subcontracted by Cascade Electric, one of Montana’s longest standing and reputable electrical contractors, to provide design, installation, and training support for this 16.92 kW solar electric system on the Great Falls High School. Using a non-penetrating ballasted racking system, the solar array was split into two separate sub-arrays in order to accommodate specific engineering requirements, while also providing a good visual location for the lower sub-array to be viewed through classroom windows. The system will not only offset energy usage within the facility but will also act as an educational foundation for science and vocational curriculum within the high school.Great Falls MT High School solar electric power
