499 kw- Arlington Record Breaker!

Solar Capital Group Funds 499 Kw PV Project In Arlington – A City Record

Arlington, TX (9/11/11) — Right Choice Industrial Automation

(RCIAC) announced it has been awarded a contract for the

construction of just under 500 kilowatts of solar photovoltaics on

a pair of apartment complexes in Arlington, Texas. This paired

project includes a 205 kilowatt solar system at Brandon Oaks

Apartments, and a 294 kilowatt system at Spanish Oaks

Apartments. The site is near East Park Row & Hwy 360. Each complex has approximately 200

rental units. According to an Arlington city official, this project will constitute the largest solar

installation in that community.

Austin Based TREIA Member, Solar Capital Group, LLC provided consulting and capital for

the project. “We are excited to help independent Texas firms compete with the national big

boys,” said President Jim Young. Oncor is providing a substantial rebate which will cover a

significant portion of the $3M system cost. Young’s firm provides capital in exchange for the

rebates.

As a result of funding by Solar Capital Group, six additional contractors were hired for the

Arlington job contributing to the local jobs economy. Those contractors will employ workers in

various types of positions, including electricians and welders, with pay ranging from $8-$25 an

hour.
