The Optimus Solar team has spent the past few weeks prepping for and are excited to get working on a new commercial solar install in historic downtown Mount Dora. The building, located at the corner of 4th and Donnelly (402 Donnelly), was built in 1914 and is home to several iconic Mount Dora shops and eateries. The historic yellow brick building will now feature a 36kW solar energy system, which will offset a significant portion of the building’s energy consumption. The panels are being installed now and the system will begin producing power this month. Stay tuned for updates!

The 402 Donnelly building is about halfway through the installation process and looking great! We can’t wait to flip the switch on this project. Check out some of the progress below.
