What if your solar carport could spell your brand from the sky? ☀️✈️
At Drake Plastics’ new headquarters and manufacturing facility in Cypress, Texas, solar is doing more than generating clean energy.
Powered by Trinasolar Vertex N modules, the 1.3 MW rooftop and carport solar system features a custom-designed carport that spells out “DRAKE” in large letters. Visible from the air to flights approaching Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, the installation turns solar into a distinctive part of the company’s identity.
Vertex N modules’ high-efficiency N-type TOPCon technology helped reduce the number of modules needed to meet the project’s performance goals, allowing for greater design flexibility while lowering balance-of-system (BOS) costs and levelized cost of energy (LCOE).
The new PV system is expected to offset 30% of Drake Plastics’ overall energy use and eliminate an estimated 719 tons of CO₂ annually.
A solar installation can power a business — and sometimes, it can tell its story from the sky.
