Renewable Energy Provider Reaches One-Megawatt Milestone
Bristol RI (SPX) Mar 26, 2008 SolarWrights has announced that the completion of the 10.25 kW installation at the Kincaid residence in Stonington, CT brings their total installed residential solar electricity in the Northeast to over one-megawatt. President and founder, Robert Chew, views this as a milestone for both SolarWrights and the solar industry. "Reaching the one-megawatt mark is a tremendous accomplishment for SolarWrights and a testament to the power that homeowners have in making smart choices about their energy sources. Homeowners like the Kincaids are making a difference." The Kincaid project was completed by the Stonington, Connecticut office of SolarWrights. The pole-mounted array, comprised of fifty SunPower solar modules is expected to produce 12,156 killowatt-hours per year which is equal to 78% of their Connecticut Light and Power (CL and P) utility bill. Homeowners Gary and Nita Kincaid enjoy watching their electric meter these days. "Since SolarWrights installed our photovoltaic system we have developed a new pastime ...watching the meter spin backwards! This time it's in our favor," said Kincaid. Because the Kincaids are customers of Connecticut Light and Power, they received a substantial rebate from the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund (CCEF). The fund, which provides incentives to CL and P and United Illuminating customers purchasing solar electric systems, will typically provide between 40% and 60% of the cost of the system according to Lise Dondy, president of the CCEF. "The CCEF applauds SolarWrights on this special occasion," said Lise Dondy "The solar industry and CCEF's solar programs have been growing at a rapid pace thanks in part to the efforts of SolarWrights. Connecticut has benefited in jobs and installations as SolarWrights has expanded into our state."
