10 Years After Hurricane Katrina, Solar Starts Powering The City Of New Orleans

Marking the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana private company PosiGen Solar Solutions installed a 25 kW solar array atop the city of New Orleans’ resilient City Hall. SimpliPhi Power and Schneider Electric participated in the memorial and charitable event. The 25 kW solar array will generate clean power for the City Hall to reduce energy costs, as well as provide backup power in the event of power disruptions or a future natural disaster. It also helps fight against the extreme climate caused possibly by greenhouse gas emissions.
