USA: Daikin has completed installation of a nearly 1 MW solar power plant at its North American headquarters near Waller, Texas.
The installation at Daikin’s Texas Technology Park features bifacial solar panels designed to capture direct and reflected sunlight from both the front and rear.
The energy generated will directly power the facility’s central refrigeration plant, which pumps approximately 125,000 gallons of chilled water annually and 75,000 gallons of hot water during the winter months, serving as the basis for the facility’s climate control.
The solar panels are expected to reduce carbon emissions by 845 tons annually.
The solar structure is also designed for grid integration, allowing Daikin to support the wider energy grid as needed.
Texas Tech Park manufactures a full line of ducted air conditioning systems for residential and light commercial applications, as well as commercial VRV systems.
