Largest Rooftop Solar Project Will Be Built In Boston

Construction on the largest roof-solar project in Boston will begin this month.  Developed and designed by the consortium of Rivermoor Energy, Fischback & Moor Electrical Group, and Zapotec Energy, Inc., the 240-kilowatt project at Boston Water and Sewer Commission (BWSC) headquarters will connect to the NSTAR grid.

The complex project involves installing a 240-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system on the BWSC rooftop on Harrison Avenue in Boston.  Leveraging Massachusetts’ Solar Renewable Energy Credits, construction and installation of the $1.075 million project will take approximately three months and will create over 15 clean energy jobs for Massachusetts. When complete, the new solar energy system should produce 268,000 kilowatt hours of power annually, about 7 percent of the Commission’s current power usage, which is the equivalent of planting 1,000 trees a year.
