Solar Energy Car Wash in Stamford First in United States to Use Sun to Heat Wash Water In an exciting development for sustainable business practices,
A dedication ceremony was held today in Westport, Conn., to celebrate the 7-kilowatt (kW) solar photovoltaic (PV) system installed on the roof of Staples High School. The solar PV system, which the Town earned through the Connecticut Clean Energy Communities Program of the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund (CCEF), was installed by Ross Solar Group.
Westport’s Green Task Force, co-chaired by Alan Abramson and David Mann, and the Green Club at Staples High School have been driving forces in boosting clean energy awareness and CTCleanEnergyOptionsSM signups, helping Westport earn the 7-kW solar array at the school. The Green Task Force, which advises the town on environmental policy and decisions that will help transform Westport into a sustainable green community, has promoted CTCleanEnergyOptions signups at a number of local events. The group also successfully persuaded the town Planning and Zoning Department to modify its building-height regulations so that roof-mounted solar installations would be excluded from building height measurements, thus making it easier for residents and businesses to install solar arrays. Additionally, students in the Green Club have been highly successful in securing CTCleanEnergyOptions signups through a range of activities including door-to-door canvassing and promotions at annual Eco Fest and Earth Day events.
