Burlington Free Press – SunCommon to install 18.3kW of solar on Energy Innovation Center
Two Vermont solar installers have been selected to build the Solar Center at Rutland Regional Medical Center and the solar installation at Green Mountain Power’s planned Energy Innovation Center.
SameSun of Vermont, based in Rutland, will build the 150-kilowatt Solar Center at Rutland Regional and SunCommon of Williston will build 18.3 kilowatts of solar on the EIC rooftop at 68 Merchants Row.
The Solar Center at Rutland Regional will be built on property surrounding two storm water retention ponds just south of Allen Street, adjacent to the hospital’s walking power.
Green Mountain Power will own and maintain the solar center under a 25-year lease agreement with Rutland Regional, crediting the hospital for 10 percent of the project’s output. The remaining energy will go onto the local electric grid and will be used by local GMP customers.
