Pacific Marine Credit Union Installs Solar at Oceanside Headquarters

422 kilowatt (kw) carport system built by REC Solar generates energy
savings, renewable power and shade for customers


OCEANSIDE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Pacific Marine Credit Union (PMCU) has completed a 422-kw carport solar
system at their Oceanside Headquarters.

The system was designed and built by REC Solar, a leading provider of
commercial, public sector and utility-scale solar solutions. It consists
of 1,224 individual panels that generate 743,000 kilowatt hours of
electricity annually. The energy generated from the solar array is
estimated to save PMCU $125,000 a year while producing about 85% of the
power needed at the facility.

As part of the system, there are two solar powered car charging stations
with the ability to charge up to four electric vehicles simultaneously.

“We are excited about this project,” said Bill Birnie, President/CEO at
Pacific Marine Credit Union. “Solar helps us lower our operating costs,
reduces our impact on the environment and brings benefits like shade and
electric vehicle charging to our members and staff.”

“Solar carports are a creative way to leverage existing space,” said
Alan Russo, senior vice president of Sales and Marketing at REC Solar.
“Pacific Marine Credit Union is generating real value with this
investment and we are proud to support their business.”
