Newberry showing off its new solar power system on Monday |
Newberry is going green, and the Easton-Newberry Sports Complex will soon get an environmentally friendly face-lift.
The city of Newberry is hosting an all-day "Green Celebration" Monday where people can learn about the solar photovoltaic system that was recently installed on the facility's roof.
The system is expected to save the city about $16,500 in electricity costs each year, said Wendy Kinser, planner and grants coordinator for the city of Newberry.
The roof system is made up of 245-watt photovoltaic modules that face south, according to a city of Newberry news release.
The silicon wafers in its solar panels produce a charge when light hits them, which is then collected and converted into electricity for the building, said Rick Gilbert, vice president of Solar Source, which is the company that installed the system for the city. Full Story...

Solar Source to build solar farm at Guantanamo Bay |
Published 3/9/2011 Bay News 9
A local company has just landed a military contract that will create jobs.
Solar Source of Largo will build a solar farm at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba.
It's a $1.5 million contract.
The company will install 1,200 solar panels at the base.
"What I've seen in the past 12 to 24 months specifically from the U.S. Military is a lot of interest and or construction going on with solar technology. Just about every base that I know of has initiative starting or initially begun," said Rick Gilbert of Solar Source.
The contract has nothing to do with the prison at Guantanamo Bay.
The solar energy will be used to power a workout facility for military personnel.
Solar Source has recently hired 10 people and say they will continue to expand. |
