Cook Land Company

DSS Solar

A 3,215-megawatt solar installation for the new Fresno County DSS campus.

As a part of our long-term commitment to clean energy and reduced operating costs for our tenants, Cook Land Company invested in a massive solar project for four Fresno County DSS buildings. Utilizing the space on the rooftops of the four DSS buildings, we installed 7,928 solar panels. Each installation took less than 60 days and currently produces an annual energy equivalent that could power 4,943 average-size homes. We plan to bring more energy efficiencies and innovations to our many tenants in the years ahead.

Additional Details

  • Full installation was accomplished in 45-60 days on each building
  • To maximize energy density, each roof utilizes a Unirac non-penetrating ballasted system of solar racks called RMDT Racking
  • Each building has inverters and optimizers continuously monitored by Solaredge
