The facility needed a backup power solution, as it is critical that they maintain power for their type of business. The client wanted to minimize their environmental impact, in addition to increasing their reliability and did not want to use diesel. The company wanted a cleaner solution with a compact footprint to fit in their space-constrained generator yard.
