Sunfinity to install two solar systems at San Jacinto College in Houston

Sunfinity will design and install two solar arrays for San Jacinto College in Houston.

“Solar generation is just one part of the college’s commitment to improving our energy efficiency. We have always been a trusted steward of the community’s resources. These solar arrays are simply a visible reminder of that on-going commitment,” said San Jacinto College Chancellor Dr. Brenda Hellyer.

The larger 391-kW system is planned for the Central Campus’ new Anderson-Ball Classroom Building, which is scheduled to open in January 2022.  The Anderson-Ball building is expected to be the largest instructional building in the United States constructed of mass timber, a building process that relies on prefabricated solid wood panels that provide a low-carbon emission alternative to steel and concrete. The 122,000-sq-ft building also made use of existing foundations from predecessor structures.

The second 263-kW system is slated for the Jones Building at South Campus. That project began construction late in 2020 and is scheduled to open in fall 2021. Originally built in 1983, the 53,000 sq-ft Jones Building is currently undergoing a $13 million renovation designed to provide updated classrooms for peak period use.

“Sunfinity has helped a wide range of businesses reap the benefits of solar energy,” said John Billingsley, Chairman and CEO for Sunfinity. “That includes non-profit and for-profit organizations, but bottom-line — it’s about the bottom-line. A ‘commercial’ solar system can return hundreds of thousands of dollars – even millions – that can go toward other priorities. We think San Jacinto College has made a wise decision in going solar, and we appreciate their confidence in us.”
