New Pool at Cathedral City High School Calls for a Solar Power Up

Construction for the Cathedral City High School’s solar power system began on October 8, 2018. This exciting solar power addition to the high school was in response to the opening of the school’s long-awaited swimming pool. After 26 years of bussing the Cathedral City High School (CCHS) aquatic teams to and from the Palm Springs aquatic center, it was finally time for the CCHS Lions to train for swimming and water polo in their very own school pool. However, the school administration noted that the added benefit of a new pool on the CCHS campus would also bring added electric utility costs.

To help relieve this new financial burden, Sullivan Solar Power will install a customized solar power array specific to the needs of the school. This state-of-the-art system utilizes a low-profile design, which keeps the system’s height shorter than the gymnasium’s parapet wall at all points. This design will allow for an aesthetically pleasing finished product while maintaining the expected production of the system.
“It was great to hear that these deserving students were finally able to take part in aquatic sporting events at their own school site,” stated Daniel Sullivan, founder and president of Sullivan Solar Power, “The last thing they needed to worry about was the added utility costs that often comes with the addition of a swimming pool to a property. We were fortunate to work with the district and offset much of these added costs with solar power, so the pool would not become a financial burden.”

The solar project consists of 319 high performance SunPower solar modules which will generate 177,794 kilowatts per year. It will offset more than $57,000 in utility costs annually and includes a full twenty-five-year product and workmanship warranty, as well as Sullivan Solar Power’s own ten-year production guarantee.
