| Largest solar power installation in New England The Connecticut Clean Energy Fund, Staples and SunEdison unveiled the largest solar power installation in New England at Staples' 300,000-square-foot retail distribution center in Killingly, Connecticut. The Killingly-based solar power installation, a 433-kilowatt DC commercial solar photovoltaic system, is 1½ times the size of a football field, covering nearly 74,000 square feet of roof space. The solar power system will reduce annual carbon emissions equivalent to the amount produced by the average car driving 420,000 miles. The solar power system has the capacity to produce enough energy to cleanly power 14% of the distribution center or 36 homes per year. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
