Yoo, commanding general, Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego and Western Recruiting Region and Dave Guebert, director of San Diego Gas and Electric, get ready to cut a ribbon at the PhotoVoltaic Ribbon Cutting Ceremony aboard MCRD Aug 29. The year-long project required Dynalectric to provide full engineering, procurement and tesing of a ground-based solar power facility with minimum power production. The 7.1 Mega Watts Solar Farm was constructed on an existing parking lot and was made of 4,224 high-efficiency crystalline panels and covers 154,000 square feet of the depot. It accounts of 13 percent of MCRD's electrical usage and is saving the depot more than $300,000 in electrical costs.
