Worcester State College (WSC) has joined the green revolution.  WSC has a commitment to sustainability and has incorporated many upgrades and improvements into their overall sustainability plan, including the purchase of a biodiesel processor, conservation efforts and increased recycling.  Another part of their plan, was installing a 105.3 kW solar array on their Learning Resource Center which was funded by IRS Clean Renewable Energy Bonds and a grant from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative.  The photovoltaic array will generate over 140,000 kW hours of electricity a

This project truly exemplifies groSolar’s ability to maximize available space for solar PV placement, using various locations on a single site.  This project consists of four separate PV arrays on a corporate campus owned and utilized by a pharmaceutical company, including 925 kW and

groSolar provided EPC services for this solar PV project for the Burlington, Vermont School District. The system was paid for largely in part by grants from Vermont’s Renewable Energy Resource Center and Federal Treasury Grant 1603. The investment will produce enough solar electricity in the first five years of operation to pay for itself and was built through by way of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Burlington schools will purchase the solar electricity generated by the system,
but the system itself is owned by third party developer, Encore Redevelopment. 

This solar PV project, constructed at Camden County Municipal Utility Authority’s (CCMUA) wastewater treatment plant by groSolar above open wastewater treatment tanks, presented one of the most complicated application types to date in the solar PV industry.  The number of EPC firms vying for this project was very limited, given the challenges and sensitivity of this particular site.  groSolar was able to complete this project without interfering with normal plant operations.
