Envision Solar International has announced 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 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.
