Phase 2 after South GA Solar Power, LLC remediated the historic Wisenbaker Building is solar generation, according to Ron Jackson.

We wanted to … remediate some of the problems first to reduce the load, to reduce the energy consumption.

Once we’ve done that, phase 2 kicks in, which is the solar power application. If we’d done that first, we probably would have put on a 20KW system to handle this load. But because we’ve done the phase 1 project and reduced the energy load, now we only need an 8-10 KW system, so the prices have been reduced. Next year hopefully it will be a fully green, fully functioned solar power application.

Right in downtown Valdosta!

The historic Wisenbaker Building, 100 North Patterson Street, is at the corner of West Hill Avenue. It was purchased by Gino Fina in 2006, and is now used as Valdosta Shared Office Space.

Ron Jackson told LAKE about how South GA Solar Power, LLC remediated the historic Wisenbaker Building in downtown Valdosta for increased air flow and reduced energy consumption.

Valdosta Shared Office Space, Downtown Valdosta, is in the Wisenbaker Building, built in 1884: the owner hired South GA Solar Power, LLC as an engineer consultant to bring down the energy this building was using. Ron Jackson says they examined air flow, average load, and other factors, bringing $12,000/year electric bill down to $3,000, 120 amps/day down to 17 amps/day.

“Consider us as your next consultant for your green energy product.”
