Tomasita’s Restaurant – Solar Carport & EV Charger
Project Overview
Tommasita’s, a beloved local favorite restaurant added a carport structure in the highly visible Santa Fe Railyard district. 210 high efficiency solar panels work also as shaded parking for 24 cars, and it includes a charging station for one electric car.
“Solar makes so much sense in New Mexico.” George Gundrey, owner and manager of Tomasita’s says. “We want to be a role model as a socially responsible business. By installing the solar array, we are renewing our commitment to be a family-run business in Santa Fe for decades to come.”
The system is designed to generate at least 85 percent of the restaurant’s peak electric usage. Additionally, it will prevent 1,202 tons of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and save 686,700 gallons of water from being used for power plant steam turbines over the 25-year warranty period of the solar panels.
