Ross Solar Group Completes Multi-Roof Installation in Stafford

STAFFORD, Conn., Oct. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ross Solar Group has completed five commercial rooftop solar systems for the Town of Stafford, Conn., totaling 660 kilowatts. Each system is expected to generate a large percent of the buildings' electricity needs on which it's installed and operating.

"This solar project is a great fit for our town because it combines high performance solar technology with a forward thinking philosophy," said Stafford Energy Advisory Committee Member Gary Fisher. "Ross Solar Group's commitment to quality, communication, and customer service made our choice easy when selecting the right partner for this high profile, green building project."

More than 2,000 high-efficiency SunPower solar panels have been installed on the buildings. They are projected to generate in excess of 740,000 kilowatt hours of clean energy per year. According to estimates provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the system will offset more than 514 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, the equivalent of removing almost 3,220 cars from Connecticut's roads over the next 30 years.

The design and installation of these commercial solar power systems was made possible by Zero-Emission Renewable Energy Credits (ZREC) for small and medium projects, awarded to the town by CL&P. Additionally, Technology Credit Corp. provided the Town of Stafford with a 10-year lease on the solar system equipment.

"We are thrilled to partner with a town like Stafford to help bring reliable solar electricity to the community," said Ross Solar Vice President Stephan Hartmann. "With the world's most efficient solar technology from SunPower, Stafford can expect to enjoy guaranteed performance and long-term savings over the life of the system."
