    Monolith Solar Associates showed U.S. Rep.Paul D. Tonko and others the newly installed solar modules atop a two-story, 42,000-square-foot building on Patroon Creek Boulevard Monday in Albany.
    The electricity produced by these panels is enough to power approximately 25 homes. This system features a total of 360 modules on the roof.
    Monday's tour was hosted by Columbia Development Companies, BBL Construction Services, and Monolith.
    With bright, sunny skies, the panels at midmorning were producing enough power to meet the demand of at least half a dozen homes.
