Salisbury Square

Randolph, Vermont | RACDC

Located on 4.5 acres in Randolph Village, Salisbury Square is an affordable and sustainable housing development that includes three four-unit, low- and median-income apartment buildings. The development also includes an office building and space for the addition of up to nine single-family homes. D&K provided survey and civil engineering and D&K’s electrical engineers designed the integration of a parallel AC/DC microgrid, a first of its kind in Vermont. The DC grid is powered by rooftop and carport-mounted solar panels generating 140kW of electricity. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries (a safer and longer-lasting alternative to lithium-ion batteries) store surplus energy in each building and are connected to smart control systems that allow the buildings to share power.
