Hudson
Light Solar Panels
The Hudson Light and
Power Department unveiled the solar power system installed at its Cherry
Street generating station in November of 2008.
"This project
represents Hudson Light's commitment to both the community and the
environment," commented General Manager Yakov D. Levin. "The
system was designed by our own engineers with components purchased from
Massachusetts-based businesses, and will hopefully benefit our customers
with their own forays into energy alternatives."
The solar panel system's
design matched that which would be used for a typical household. The
knowledge and experience that Hudson Light gained through the installation
process and use of the system is available to customers interested in
investing in their own homes.
The Alternative Energy
Store of Hudson provided the Department with valuable photo-voltaic
counseling. The panels were purchased from Evergreen Solar of
Marlboro, Solectria of Laurence manufactured the inverter component.
