PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The electrical scope of work included installation of AC distribution systems and interconnection infrastructure necessary to support a 423.20 kWDC solar PV system. Underground conduit and wiring connected six canopy structures, tying three into a single AC distribution panel. Additional conduit runs were made to junction boxes and routed beneath a roadway to the P1 building’s electrical room.

At the P1 building, a 400A disconnect was installed on the exterior, and the existing panel in the west electrical room was replaced with a new 800A-rated panel. The panel interior was removed, and new conduit and wire were installed to a new main switchboard. Existing circuits were rerouted through the original panel enclosure, repurposed as a junction box. A similar connection was made to the R&D building, which received a 400A exterior disconnect and a new 250A breaker in the main switchboard.

Security lighting was included, with LED fixtures installed every 30 feet beneath the canopy structures. EMT conduit and wiring were installed to power the lights. All panelboards, breakers, and terminations were provided, with work performed per NEC Standards. Final testing included insulation resistance and inverter pre-commissioning checks to ensure system functionality.
