Robert Biale Vineyards has installed a new 145kW Solaria PowerXT solar array on their winery and tasting room in Napa, California. The Summit Technology Group has completed the installation of the new Pure Black solar system. Biale's new array consists of 362 Solaria PowerXT 400R-PM solar modules and SolarEdge inverters and optimizers that will be integrated into the property's existing generator. The solar panels were procured from Santa Rosa through CED Greentech.
"Summit has a long track record in solar," said Kenny Cotton, vice president of the Summit Technology Group. “Our team consists of committed professionals with in-depth expertise in the planning, installation and maintenance of solar power systems.
