Salem, MA – Governor Deval Patrick and state and local officials attended an event at Salem State University, commemorating the solar PV project at Salem State’s Atlantic Hall.
Broadway Electrical Co., Inc., a leading full-service, family owned electrical construction and solar energy installation company, designed, supplied and installed the 68 kW system on the existing roof of the Salem State University Central Campus Residence Hall.
The system, comprised of four Fronius Inverters, 252 Suntech 270W solar panels mounted via a Unirac Rail System, will reduce the university’s use of grid produced electricity by approximately 90,000 kWh per year, and represents a projected energy budget savings of $12,350 per year based on a rate of 13 cents per kw/hour.
