Hampton Family Practice Solar PV System
Hampton, Virginia
Overview
The Hampton Family Practice Solar PV System provides on-site renewable energy generation for an active medical office facility in Hampton, Virginia. Thompson Consulting Engineers provided electrical engineering services for the rooftop photovoltaic installation, coordinating the new renewable energy system with the building’s existing electrical infrastructure and utility requirements. The project was designed to offset a portion of the facility’s electrical demand while supporting Hampton Family Practice’s commitment to environmental sustainability and long-term energy efficiency. Careful integration of the system allowed the medical practice to continue daily operations while adding durable, low-maintenance renewable energy infrastructure that continues to contribute to the facility’s power needs.
