alt Lake City Corporation Public Safety building
Project: 904kW Ground-mount
Creative Energies, in partnership w ith Taylor Electric, w as selected by Salt Lake City Corp, through an
RFP process to design and install a 904kW ballasted photovoltaic solar system. The goal of this project
w as to offset the energy usage of Salt Lake City?s new Public Safety Building located at 200 East 500
South, Salt Lake City, UT. The site, a capped landfill, presented a unique set of parameters. . In order to
keep the landfill' s engineered surface unaltered, a ballasted array w as designed.
M
adison High School, Rexburg, ID
Project: 86.24kW ballasted roof mount
Creative Energies assisted the Rexburg, ID
school district w ith their application for
funding by the Idaho State Office of Energy
Resources. Based on the quality of the
proposal, M adison High School w as selected
as a grant w inner and aw arded funding for
this 86 kW solar pow er system. Creative

F
enske M edia, Rapid City, South Dakota
Project: 152kW Ground M ount
Fenske M edia, a major regional printing and direct mail company, sought to reduce their electric energy
use and manage their peak pow er demand charges. The solar array is mounted on a hillside adjacent to
the building in order to increase visibility. To provide highest economic return, the array is oriented such
that the maximum output occurs betw een 1pm and 2pm, coinciding w ith the buildings peak demand.
* * This is the largest solar power system in the state of South Dakota.

Idaho Army National Guard, M aintenance Facility
ummit County, UT Justice Center
Creative Energies w as selected through an
RFP process to design and build a complex
solar system for the Summit County, UT
Justice Center. The facility rooftop w as
covered w ith numerous HVAC units, vents
and other stationary items that prohibited
a single array. The solution to this
problem w as to install 17 unique arrays on
multiple roof surfaces. The system w as
designed to offset 40% of the facilities
annual kWh usage. The facility is located
in a high w ind and snow load area,
requiring special attention to design.
actical Unmanned Aerial Support (TUAS)
Project: 100kW ground mount
Creative Energies installed a 100kW
ground mounted solar array at an Army
National Guard base near M ountain
Home, ID. The installation features 408
solar modules configured in three
sub-arrays and mounted at a 40-degree
angle. The system utilizes Enphase
micro-inverter' s, providing the ow ner
w ith the ability to monitor and verify the
performance of each individual solar
module. Shallow bedrock conditions
required a customized solution to
mounting.

and install a complex group of grid tied
solar pow er systems on a low -income
housing development. The installation
included 247 solar modules mounted on
tw elve different roofs. The eleven inverters
w ere interconnected w ith five separate
electrical services. Aesthetics and the
maximization of energy output from a
limited roof space w ere driving forces in the
design.
