Gun range will use solar power

Written by 

The Range at Lake Norman is going green. No, not the color of the building, but rather, the gun range under construction on Bailey Road has contracted Tecta America Carolinas to provide phase one of the range’s rooftop solar array.

“The Range at Lake Norman is proud to be doing its part to lessen our impact on the environment,” says Tricia Sisson, managing director of the range. “We started by committing to a very limited lead firearms facility, by partnering with ammunition manufacturers that will provide us with lead-free ammo. We have spent a tremendous amount of time in our building design reducing runoff from the property through an extensive rain garden and bio-retention pond. Our final piece is to work with Tecta America Carolinas to install phase one of our solar array.”

“We expect to be heavy power users once our facility is operational in October,” says David Stukbauer, partner in the Range at Lake Norman and retail director. “By installing a solar system, we can lessen our carbon footprint and reduce our energy costs.”

Tecta America Carolinas is a turnkey developer of commercial and utility-scale solar power plants. The company’s expertise ranges from executing and delivering on PPAs to one of the largest utilities in the country to working with schools, Fortune 100 companies and even sovereign Tribal governments.
