Sikorsky 航空公司启用屋顶太阳能系统

                  
    Sikorsky 航空已经启动了公司的第一个太阳能电池板阵列。该公司在其康涅狄格州Stratford市的厂区新建工程屋顶上安装了450块太阳能电池板。
    太阳能光伏发电系统有望每年产生106250千瓦时清洁电力。该公司估计，其环保效益相当于在环境中清除了72,000磅二氧化碳，53磅氮氧化物以及31磅二氧化硫。
    Soltage构建了Sikorsky的太阳能能源站。该可再生能源公司还将拥有该光伏发电系统的所有权并运营该系统及项目资金的所有资金。根据合同，Sikorsky将以固定利率购买该系统产生电力。康涅狄格州清洁能源基金为Soltage赠款25351500美元，大约占Soltage装备费用的四成。
    大约五年前康涅狄格出台了全美最慷慨的太阳能奖励方案，帮助了数十家公太阳能公司发展壮大，但目前国家补贴资金已用完。

    Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. has activated the company’s first solar panel array, consisting of 450 panels mounted on the rooftop of a new engineering building at the company’s campus in Stratford, Conn., reports The New Haven Register.
    The solar photovoltaic system is expected to generate 106,250 kilowatt-hours of renewable energy annually. The company estimates that the environmental benefits are equal to removing more than 72,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, 53 pounds of nitrogen oxide and 31 pounds of sulfur dioxide from the environment.
    Soltage constructed Sikorsky’s Solar PowerStation. The renewable energy company also owns and operates the system and funds all of the capital for the project. Under the agreement, Sikorsky purchases the electricity generated from the system at a negotiated fixed rate. A $253,515 grant from the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund covered about 40 percent of Soltage’s equipment costs.
    About five years ago Connecticut had one of the most generous solar incentive programs in the country, which fueled the growth of dozens of solar companies, but state subsidies have run out of funds.
