Solar modules that are installed on 72 New York City Schools
New York City has completed the installation of solar collectors on 72 public schools in the city.
City officials and pupils of PS 58 in Brooklyn have completed a band to complete the project that brings the total number of schools up to 104.
“Today's ribbon cutting is an incredible milestone in the clean energy and sustainability efforts of our city: over 100 solar collectors at our schools, which extends the city and expanded the robust sustainability work in our buildings”. “I am excited to see how this work will continue inside and outside the classroom.”
Of the new 72 solar arrangements, 55% were installed in disadvantaged communities. With solar arrangements that cover approximately 70% of the existing guilt interface, the project interfaces were selected based on their roofing and state. This analysis included warranty tests and waterproof inspections of the buildings in order to avoid future capital project conflicts.
The panels were installed by a electricity contract contract with an investment subsidiary of Generate Capital, which is responsible for the costs for installation, operation and maintenance of the systems. The city's Department of Citywide has agreed to buy the solar energy produced by the panels over the next two decades. The cost estimate for portfolio costs of 85 million US dollars is the total cost of clean performance in the next 20 years. This agreement estimated that the city estimated capital costs and complied with more than $ 120 million in the annual operating and maintenance costs over the lifespan of the panels.
