A new
environmentally friendly power source option made its debut in Tarrytown on
Tuesday.
Residents may
notice that the Tarrytown Self Storage has solar panels on top of the building
- for community use.
News 12 is told
it will serve 50 homes in the surrounding area.
The site is one
of more than 100 community solar projects in Westchester County, according to
Sustainable Westchester.
Con Ed will
still deliver power to residents, but they’ll have the option of choosing the
source.
Local officials
see it as a step toward sustainability for Tarrytown.
“Community solar
is a fabulous thing because it helps people who want to use solar, but can’t
put it on their own homes,” says customer Dean Gallea.
The Tarrytown site is full in terms of subscribers, but if
residents are interested in signing up, they can visit this
website.Sunrise Solar Solutions partnered with the storage facility for the project.
