Cayo Costa Off-Grid Solar System & Generator Installation
Cayo Costa, Florida is an idyllic island off the Gulf of Mexico, but the region’s climate can strain a property’s electrical system.
By partnering with United Mechanical (UM) – a Fidelity Building Services Group (Fidelity) company – one property owner was able to meet his goals of off-grid reliability that would improve the home’s energy costs and indoor air quality (IAQ), as well as make living in paradise a sustainable reality.
Nearly every two to three months, the oversized generator that powered the property consumed up to $9,000 in propane. To conserve fuel costs, the air conditioning system ran only when the site was occupied; however, due to the area’s humid nature, this created challenging home environment issues and a desire for an overall more efficient design.
