Cambridge Central School District - First Solar in Washington County!!

CAMBRIDGE, N.Y. >> Cambridge Central School recently completed the installation of a solar panel array at both the District Offices/Bus Garage and the school campus. The solar array was installed by Monolith Solar, and represents the first large scale solar array installed at a public school in Washington County. The CCS Solar Power Project was part of the continuing efforts of the school's Energy and Sustainability Committee, which has worked over the past 9 years to make recommendations to the Board of Education on ways to make the school more energy efficient and sustainable.

The Solar Power Project came at no cost to the school district, as it was part of a power purchase agreement between CCS and Monolith Solar. This project had no impact on the taxpayer and has created the opportunity for CCS to purchase energy at a reduced rate, while also educating students about the benefits of renewable energy resources. The CCS Solar array is made up of two separate systems. One system is installed on the roof of the K-12 school building. This system is made up of 671 panels, with each panel producing 300 watts. The total system size is 201,300 watts and is expected to produce over 202,000 kilowatt-hours of energy annually. This will offset about 139 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, and will supply around 26 percent of the school's annual electricity needs.

The District Office/Bus Garage system is comprised of 275 panels, producing 82,500 watts. This array is expected to produce over 83,000 kilowatt-hours of energy annually. This offsets about 57.2 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, and will supply 100 percent of the building's electricity needs. Specific information about the solar panels, including real time data can be found at www.cambridgecsd.org.

It's always rewarding to hear that our customers are excited about solar! "Give me the warm power of the sun. Thank you, Monolith Solar!”

City of Troy Goes Solar

The city of Troy is  planning to install a 3 megawatt solar farm on several city-owned properties as part of a deal that could save the city $300,000 annually in electric costs.

Last month the city council authorized the mayor to sign a memorandum of understanding with Monolith Solar of Rensselaer to build the solar farm, which would be paid for up front by Monolith.

The city would enter into a 20-year power purchase agreement with Monolith to buy the solar power, which would net the city roughly $300,000 in annual credits from National Grid.
