A dedication ceremony was held April 14, 2011, in Wilton, Conn., to celebrate the installation of a 20-kilowatt (kW) solar photovoltaic (PV) system above the science wing at Wilton High School. The solar PV system was installed by Alteris Renewables Inc.
The system was made possible by diverse resources. The Town of Wilton earned 5 kW through CCEF’s Connecticut Clean Energy Communities Program and also received a grant through CCEF’s On-Site Renewable Distributed Generation Program, resulting in total funding by CCEF of $75,575. The balance of the system cost was provided through a generous donation by Ron French, president of Alteris Renewables and former resident of Wilton, who made the donation in memory of his late wife, Sherry French, who was an ardent supporter of the environment and education. French’s contribution supported 15 kW of the system. French additionally made an arrangement with the Town whereby the money that the Town saves in utility bills as a result of the solar installation will be put into an annual scholarship in his wife’s name that will be awarded to a student chosen by the Wilton High School Science Department.
CCEF also provided funding for a special data monitoring system developed by Heliotronics, which will be utilized by students throughout the state as part of CCEF’s Learning for Clean Energy Innovation program.
