BlueSel Commercial Solar Case Studies

Sandcastle Resort

“The installation of the 300 kW solar array at the Sandcastle Resort by BlueSel went very well and we were pleased with the level of communication and coordination with our staff at the resort. Typical construction and coordination issues were handled in a professional manner. The estimates for solar power production were accurate and we are very happy with the PPA finance partners BlueSel recommended, who provides us with a generous savings on our electric bill.

We would recommend BlueSel to other friends and colleagues. ”

Project Results

  1. Per the PPA contract the resort Inn is saving 30% on the cost of all the electricity generated by the solar system (over 350,000 kilowatt-hours per year).
  2. The PPA Investment group insures, operates and maintains the solar system – no out-of-pocket expenses for the Inn
  3. The resort showcases the system onsite and enhances their green reputation and increases their business and profit margin
  4. Overall, the system offsets 70% of the resort’s yearly electrical energy requirement

Project Goals

Our Sandcastle customer wanted to save money on their electricity costs. They also believe in the positive environmental impact of using clean energy and wanted to install their own solar capacity on their site. Environmental preservation is important to their customers and they wanted to demonstrate their commitment and enhance their reputation. The challenge was that their resort operated with individual meters for each unit which did not allow them to qualify for the tax incentives that would make a system affordable.

BlueSel Solution

BlueSel put the Sandcastle Customer in contact with a select PPA Investment group (Power Purchase Agreement) to buy and build the system and pass along savings to the Inn in the form of lower priced electricity. BlueSel designed the system and managed all of the construction and permitting as well as the process to interconnect with the Utility. This solution allowed the Sandcastle Resort to get a large solar system without any upfront cost at all. They were able to install the largest system that would fit on the roof.
  • 305 kilowatt solar system installed on existing building
  • No cost to Sandcastle Inn for the system, construction, or permitting and utility connection
