American Solar Will "Go for the Green"
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) January 15, 2014 -- American Solar, Arizona’s leader in residential solar installation and innovation, announced today that it has been named the Official Solar Energy provider for the 2014 Waste Management Phoenix Open, "The Greatest and Greenest Show on Grass," January 27 – February 2 at TPC Scottsdale.
American Solar will provide a 2.5 kW photovoltaic array to power the event. It will be installed near the 18th hole alongside the Waste Management corporate tent and is nearly identical to the type of solar energy system installed on a typical Arizona home. American Solar will use LG 255 panels and one inverter to complete the set-up.
This will be American Solar’s first year at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
"We’re excited because this puts solar energy at center stage before a worldwide audience," said American Solar President Sean Seitz. "It’s the perfect opportunity to show how easy, economical and effective it is to use a solar energy system as a primary source of power."
"We look forward to working with American Solar at the 2014 tournament," said 2014 Waste Management Phoenix Open Tournament Chairman Tom King. "The tournament’s title sponsor has quickly transformed the Greatest Show on Grass into the Greenest Show on Grass and we’re in full support of their ongoing efforts to educate our fans and have a positive impact on our environment."
