Saving big with solar is par for the course.
GOLF COURSE IN REDDING, CALIFORNIA
THE CHALLENGE
When new owners began revitalizing the aging Gold Hills Golf Course, their plan included a commitment to going green with solar energy. The optimum site for the large ground-mount system was on the side of a steep hill, complicating its design and installation.
THE PROCESS
Barrier created a system using 576 Yingli solar panels, custom mounted to allow for the slope, and installed without disruption to the golf course’s operation or other improvement projects.
THE RESULT
Since switching to solar, Gold Hills Golf Course enjoys substantially lower electric bills and more than enough electricity to power its pro shop, irrigation system, maintenance shop and fleet of electric golf carts. The course also enjoys the support of its community for its environmental leadership.
“Barrier made our transition to solar energy smooth and seamless. We appreciated their attention to detail in designing our system, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the energy savings we’re seeing. Thanks to Barrier, other golf courses are looking to us as a model of green leadership.”
