Success Story: Black Hills State University
Black Hills State University (BHSU), nestled in Spearfish, South Dakota, near the Wyoming border, is currently embarking on an ambitious mission to be powered by 100 percent renewable energy. The plan, called the President’s Climate Commitment, aims to make the school 100 percent renewable by 2030. To meet its sustainability goals, this master's-level state university with more than 3,800 students, contracted GenPro Energy Solutions, a leading provider of energy-efficient technologies and solutions, to install rooftop PV systems on many of its buildings.
GenPro partnered with Trina Solar’s C&I Solutions for a bundled package of high-quality modules, inverters, and racking. The total solar solution optimizes the PV system’s performance to deliver lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and quicker return on investment (ROI) for BHSU.
