Solar Array Result of Energy Initiative Donation
An energy efficiency and renewable energy initiative launched in 2017 continues to pay dividends for Seacoast communities.
ReVision Energy agreed to donate 103 Tier 1 solar panels to
The Children's Museum of New Hampshire
in Dover---part of a 318-panel rooftop solar array at the Children's Museum and adjacent
Dover Indoor Pool
, which share a common electricity meter. A public ribbon cutting is planned in February to unveil the arrays. Yankee Thermal Imaging also completed two weatherization projects for area nonprofits.
The combined 101.7-kilowatt solar array on the museum and pool roofs will generate approximately 120,000 kilowatt-hours of clean electricity per year and offset more than 126,000 pounds of carbon pollution annually for decades to come. The system is expected to provide roughly 30 percent of the combined electricity needs of the two facilities, although that ratio could rise to 50% or more once planned LED lighting and other efficiency upgrades take place. The solar array is projected to save approximately $550,000 in electricity costs long-term.
