The Board of Education last week unanimously approved a plan to add solar panel arrays to the roofs of Philip R. Smith, Orchard Hill, and Wapping elementary school buildings.

Today, the Town of Simsbury, in cooperation with Asante Energy and Greenskies Renewable Energy, announced the successful completion of a 220kW rooftop solar array located at the Town’s recreation facility on Old Farms Road.

Solar panels will be placed on the roofs of three school buildings that could save South Windsor Public Schools up to $1.5 million over the 25-year lifespan of the system.

Revenue from the Lewis County solar array has covered about 59% of the county’s electricity bill over the past 15 months, and this is just the beginning.

National solar developer Greenskies Renewable Energy was recognized by Solar Power World magazine for its year-over-year growth among national solar contractors.

On the second to last day of the 2018-’19 school year, students at Chester Elementary School celebrated a very important event: the ribbon cutting for the more than 300 Greenskies Renewable energy solar panels that were installed on the building’s roof this school year.

The Killingly Town Council has voted to authorize the town manager to enter into negotiations with a developer who will install solar panels on town and school buildings.

Greenskies Renewable Energy has built two similar photovoltaic projects for the City of Middletown and Town of Ledyard, Conn.

Greenskies Renewable Energy, a Clean Focus company, completed a 137-kW solar array in Sprague, Connecticut, which will generate solar electricity for the Sprague wastewater treatment plant.

Greenskies Renewable Energy LLC (“Greenskies”), a Clean Focus company, has completed a milestone solar system for the Town of Fairfield. The new solar array at Fairfield Woods Middle School becomes the 30th solar system to power the town’s buildings.
