Zep Solar was founded in 2009 by photovoltaic systems engineer Jack West, Christina Manansala, with whom West co-founded High Sun Engineering in 2000, and contractor Daniel Flanigan. [2] The trio invented a system that allowed solar panels to be installed without using rails, the long aluminum beams that had typically run underneath rooftop ...
The PV array consist of solar modules held in place by racks or frames that are attached to ground-based mounting supports. [11] [12] In general, ground mounted PV systems can be at the optimal tilt angle and orientation (as compared to roof mounted systems that can be non-optimal particularly for retrofits). Ground-based mounting supports include:
The structure of the building is a standard column and beam steel superstructure, set upon a pre-stressed concrete, pile foundation system. The structural steel is designed to resist a seismic event of up to 6.9 on the Richter scale, an extremely high standard for the Sacramento area. The exterior skin of the building consists of Minnesota Gray ...
North Sacramento is also the home of Sacramento's central U.S. Postal Service facility. The North Sacramento Freeway was completed in the late 1950s, originally carrying U.S. 40 and renumbered in 1964 as Highway 160 (the portion west of Arden Way). This area is also known as Old North Sacramento.
Optical cage system in a vacuum chamber. An optical cage system is an optomechanical system that is used to mount optical elements such as lenses and mirrors together in a rigid assembly. Optical systems built this way can be more compact than can be achieved using an optical table, and the system provides more flexibility than an optical rail.
West Sacramento is the home of the California Highway Patrol Academy, [19] and the CHP Museum is housed on the same grounds. [20] [21] In 2007–2008 there were efforts to move the California Highway Patrol official headquarters from Sacramento (in Sacramento County) to West Sacramento (in Yolo County), [22] but these were ultimately ...
The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) is a community-owned electric utility serving Sacramento County and parts of Placer County. [3] It is one of the ten largest publicly owned utilities in the United States, generating the bulk of its power through natural gas (estimated 35.2% of production total in 2020) and large hydroelectric generation plants (29.1% in 2020).
The northeastern portion, including Redding, Yreka and Mount Shasta, became area code 530, reducing the 916 numbering plan area to Sacramento and its immediate area. On the same day, Dixon was reassigned from 916 to 707. This split left 916 as the only one of the original 86 area codes that no longer covers any part of its original area. [1]
