Branford, CT— Through grants from The Connecticut Clean Energy Fund (CCEF) On-Site Renewable Distributed Generation Program, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are successfully operating at Massey’s Plate Glass And Aluminum, Inc. and Pat Munger Construction Company, Inc.
The 12.6-kilowatt solar PV installation on the roof above Massey’s Plate Glass & Aluminum was designed by Spire Solar and installed by Pat Munger Construction. The 70 solar panel array supplies more than 41 percent of Massey's electricity needs. CCEF’s grant of $45,424 helped to defray more than one third of the total project cost.
“We are pleased with our decision to go ‘green’ by pursuing this sustainable energy solution for our business and we applaud Munger Construction for a job well done,” said Massey CEO, Robert Massey Jr.
The solar array mounted on the roof above Pat Munger Construction is also a 12.6-kilowatt, 70-panel system designed by Spire Solar and installed by Pat Munger Construction. It is generating approximately 50 percent of Munger's electricity needs. The solar electric system is one component of the company’s Green Initiative and was made possible, in part, by a grant of $45,760 from CCEF’s On-Site Renewable Distributed Generation Program, which helped to defray more than one third of the total project cost.
“Installing PV solar panels on the roof of our corporate office is allowing us the benefits of solar energy usage, as well as providing us with the experience necessary to offer these types of services to our customers,” stated David DeMaio, Munger president. “Overall it is a win/win situation.”
Lise Dondy, CCEF president, said, “Businesses, municipalities and other institutions around the state continue to turn to solar technology to help control their energy costs, demonstrate the benefits of clean energy alternatives and protect the environment. The solar arrays that generate clean energy for Massey’s and Munger Construction are a great reminder of the power of solar.”
