ORESTVILLE, MD — FCP marked the comple- tion of a 2.1-megawatt array system at Holly Spring Meadows Apartments in For - estville in partnership with Standard Solar . The New Community Solar Energy Gen - eration System consists of an 800-kilowatt (kW) carport ar - ray and a 921-kW rooftop array at the 224-unit apartment com - munity, equivalent to offsetting the carbon emissions of 1.6 million pounds of coal or charg- ing 182 million smartphones for a year. The system is com- prised of nine building arrays, nine carport arrays, and three points of interconnection to the PEPCO electrical grid. This combination of roof and carport will generate a combined 2,120 megawatt hours of clean energy annually, allowing it to offset the demand of more than 300 homes. 50% of energy produced on site will be allocated to in- dividuals of low to moderate income households.
