BA Solar worked with the College of Lake County (CLC) to install solar panels across two acres of land on the west side of campus and across 13 rooftops. Tier 1 equipment was used for the Solar Panels, Inverters, and Mounting Systems to generate approximately 2.5 million kWh of annual energy. CLC was the largest prevailing wage project at the time in Illinois. The college was able to finance this solar development through a power purchase agreement (PPA) with BA Solar, which meant no upfront costs for the installation of solar panels.

OUR STORY
College of Lake County
As Director of Facilities for College of Lake County's multiple campuses, I was pleased to have the pleasure to work with BA Solar Solutions on our Grayslake Campus Solar Installation. The solar project was awarded after a strenuous two-year RFP process, and we could not be happier with the results.
The BA Solar Team worked with our legal, engineering, facilities, and grounds staff every step of the way. Whether gathering data to present to our board and President or working out specific work schedules for our students, BA Solar was responsive, hard-working, and attentive to the details. College of Lake County prides itself on its leadership towards a more renewable future and is thankful for partners like BA Solar Solutions who help on this mission."
