Perfect conditions for solar installations are a rarity. Our dedicated teams are accustomed to facing challenges such as heat, cold, rain, and snow—and now, crocodiles. In our last post, we discussed how floating solar arrays are minimally invasive to local ecosystems. Clearly, this crocodile has found it quite accommodating. Nothing stops us from putting the power of the sun to work for the people!

Traditional energy sources such as coal and oil extraction require disruptive land use practices, resulting in deforestation, habitat fragmentation, and disturbance to wildlife. In contrast, solar energy offers a more environmentally friendly alternative. By minimizing large-scale habitat disturbances, solar installations allow creatures, like this graceful heron at our recent Del-Co Water D3Energy floating solar array install, to remain undisturbed.

We get to the job site before the sun is up, no matter what mode of transportation is necessary.

ARP Solar is thrilled to have been selected for a $1.6 Million award from the U.S. Department of Energy's solar office.
