CPS Energy and Pearl Partner on 200 Kilowatt Solar Array; Interactive Display Offers Real-Time Updates on Power Generation SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A 200-kilowatt solar power project, currently the largest in Texas, has been completed at the former Pearl Brewery redevelopment, partners CPS Energy and Pearl announced today. The project at the Full Goods Building at Pearl includes an interactive display offering information about solar energy with real-time updates on the amount of power produced and environmental equivalents in terms of pollutants avoided. Pearl solar display content is also available at http://pearl.kiosk-view.com The $1.35 million solar installation was funded with $950,000 from Pearl and $400,000 from CPS Energy in a public/private partnership to test the viability of solar energy in a large, real-world commercial application, said Milton Lee, CPS Energy CEO. "This project gives us an opportunity to gather information right here in San Antonio's climate, real information about what this size solar array can do to offset the energy demands of a large building in our weather conditions, and that information will be very valuable moving forward," Lee said.
