Scope Of Work

Hog Island Oyster Company, on scenic Tamales Bay in Marshall, CA, takes a strong stance on environmental responsibility. The decision to install a 90 kW solar energy system at its acclaimed West Marin Oyster Farm helps fulfill part of their larger sustainability strategy to minimize environmental impacts.

Hog Island now powers over 85% of its operations and retail oyster bar with clean, renewable energy, saving thousands in energy costs every year.

Not only does solar help the climate, but oysters and other shellfish, by reducing the amount of C02 in the ocean. Increased C02 in the water causes acidification, decreasing oysters’ ability to make their shells.

Designed and installed by SolarCraft, the solar photovoltaic system is mounted on multiple roofs and engineered to solve the coastal location’s challenges of high winds and salt mist corrosion. The system consists of 260 rugged, high-efficiency SunPower 345-watt solar panels. Solar Edge inverters maximize energy harvest from the system overall, using optimizers that manage the output of each module. Furthermore, the optimizers monitor the performance of each module and communicates performance data to a monitoring portal.

During the life of the system over 2,570 tons of carbon dioxide will be eliminated from the Hog Island’s carbon footprint, the equivalent of removing 8.4 million miles of driving over the next 25 years. That’s also comparable to the air pollution removed by 44 acres of trees.
