eTailer CableOrganizer.com announced the successful deployment of its hybrid green sustainability and disaster recovery system. The company installed 144 solar panels on the roof of its headquarters in Florida, each of which provide 250 watts of power (36kw total). These solar panels feed a battery bank of 48 batteries of 4 volts each.
“We have been affected seriously by hurricanes in the past, and our city has frequent power shutdowns each year, both controlled and uncontrolled by our Florida Power & Light (FPL) utility,” notes Paul Holstein, co-founder and COO of CableOrganizer.com. “In addition, the cost to power our electronics-dependent operation is ever-increasing. As such, we made an investment into a hybrid solar energy system that offers extraordinary operational and financial benefits both short- and long-term.”
While the utility’s power grid is fully operational, the system’s solar energy provides a significant portion of the company’s power needs. This results in a significant monthly savings upwards of $500 per month. At night and during the weekends, the solar panels actually roll the meter back, and CableOrganizer.com sells the excess energy back to FPL, thereby generating revenue for the company that offsets the installation cost for the system and expedites ROI.
In the event of a power outage, the typical Florida sun will give CableOrganizer.com enough solar panel-driven energy to power its critical loads indefinitely. This includes all of the company’s computers, servers, lights, security systems, packing stations, product carousels, and the A/C for the server room.
