SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Envi­sion Solar Inter­na­tional, Inc. (OTCBB:EVSI), a lead­ing sus­tain­able infra­struc­ture designer and devel­oper, announces the design and instal­la­tion of its Solar Tree® park­ing struc­tures at the new Ecotech Insti­tute, the first and only col­lege entirely focused on renew­able energy, sus­tain­able design and energy effi­ciency. Sun­Renu Solar, LLC chose Envi­sion Solar for the project. Its Solar Trees will cre­ate renew­able solar energy to off­set the elec­tric­ity costs for the Insti­tute in its Aurora, Colo. park­ing lot.

Envi­sion Solar’s solar park­ing arrays pro­vide both shade and clean elec­tric­ity for their own­ers. The highly archi­tected and engi­neered designs are ideal for park­ing struc­tures and sur­face lots, and envi­ron­ments that pre­fer com­pet­i­tively priced clean renew­able energy. Addi­tion­ally, they cre­ate added value for the prop­erty in the form of cov­ered park­ing. The com­pany designs and installs its Solar Trees and Solar Groves™ for a wide range of envi­ron­ments, includ­ing cor­po­rate cam­puses, com­mer­cial office build­ings, light indus­trial facil­i­ties, shop­ping malls, restau­rants, gov­ern­ment build­ings, schools, uni­ver­si­ties and hospitals.

“Park­ing lots and park­ing struc­tures pro­vide a tremen­dous oppor­tu­nity for solar deploy­ment, and we are pleased to have been selected by Sun­Renu Solar for this excit­ing project,” said Envi­sion Solar Pres­i­dent Desmond Wheat­ley. “Our lead­ing designs will be an ideal cat­a­lyst for the stu­dents at this inno­v­a­tive learn­ing cen­ter, and we are proud to have been cho­sen as a prime exam­ple of the right way to design and deploy solar park­ing arrays.”

Envi­sion Solar has a sig­nif­i­cant port­fo­lio of solar deploy­ments at edu­ca­tional estab­lish­ments. The Solar Grove park­ing struc­ture at UC San Diego, designed by the company’s founder Robert Noble, has won numer­ous awards for archi­tec­tural and engi­neer­ing excellence.

“At Sun­Renu Solar and Sun­Renu Solar Con­trac­tors, we have a pas­sion for the solar busi­ness and incor­po­rate inno­v­a­tive solar power sys­tem design, con­struc­tion, and solar pro­duc­tion mon­i­tor­ing to imple­ment solar solu­tions with the high­est return on invest­ment,” said Sun­Renu Man­ag­ing Mem­ber John McDon­nell. “Envi­sion Solar is the obvi­ous choice for deploy­ments where a highly archi­tected solu­tion and supe­rior instal­la­tion is required. Envi­sion Solar’s port­fo­lio of high qual­ity projects speaks for itself, and we look for­ward to doing many more projects with the company.”

The Ecotech Insti­tute pre­pares stu­dents for careers in fields such as solar power, wind tur­bine tech­nol­ogy, sus­tain­able inte­rior design, envi­ron­men­tal para­le­gal, and the envi­ron­men­tal jobs of the new green econ­omy. The Insti­tute selected Sun­Renu Solar because of the cre­ative and inno­v­a­tive approach that the com­pany brings to turn-key solar deployments.
