"This commercial solar installation is a continuation of the partnership between Alpha and Cox to support Cox leadership in solar energy deployments in this region," said Drew Zogby, President and COO of Alpha. "Cox Communications is known for its sustainability programs, including 'Cox Conserves', and we are proud to play a role in their efforts by providing cost-effective and efficient renewable energy systems that have a tangible, positive effect on their operations and their community."

As one of three solar power installations commissioned at Cox Arizona locations so far this year, the 21kW Tucson system consists of 120 photovoltaic panels supported by an Elevated Solar Racking structure that was designed and installed by Alpha, covering 18 parking spots. The system will generate more than 32,000 kilowatt hours per year, enough to power about 3 homes. All PV systems deployed by Cox AZ include real-time performance monitoring systems that track and record performance data including power produced and metrics to energy offsets.

"For Cox, going solar is all about the bottom line in terms of economics AND community impact," said Lisa Lovallo, Cox's vice president for Southern Arizona. "We are a local company making businesses decisions that benefit our customers, our employees and the community. We partnered with Alpha - an Arizona company - because they have the experience and expertise to build a solar structure that would help us save money and reduce emissions here in our community."
