The Similarly Stimulated Saturn

HRH Wineries makes the move to solar with the installation of a 16.8kW PV system at their facility by Argand. As one of the largest, private installations in TN and the largest for a TN winery, the system will produce an estimated 22,543kWh of electricity per year that will be sold back to the TVA through the TVA Green Switch Program to offset HRH Winery operation costs and eliminate 15.30 tons of CO2 emissions. The PV system, designed and installed by Argand, consists of 78 Sharp 216W modules, 3 SMA Sunnyboy 6000W inverters and a Sunnyboy Web Box monitoring system. Due to the location of the winery and the renewable energy system type, the project was able to apply for the USDA 9006 Renewable Energy Grant (approval is pending) in addition to qualifying for a federal tax credit (30% of total costs with no cap).
