Long Pond，宾夕法尼亚州（美国有线电视新闻网） - 忘了费城 - Brandon Igdalsky希望Poconos总是阳光普照。
本周末，Pocono Raceway总裁Igdalsky、其首席执行官John "Doc" Mattioli及他们的家人一道为他们的25英亩太阳能发电站正式拉开帷幕。全面运行后，该太阳能电站每年将生产300万至400万千瓦小时电力。这将提供赛道所需全部电力，同时剩余电力汇入当地电网。
经过研究，赛道官员确定了停车场附近的轨道将是安装太阳能光伏电池的最佳位置。
该太阳能发电站在本周末NASCAR的顶级赛事，Sprint杯系列以及世界汽车露营系列和方舟赛事时将开始发电。
该太阳能发电系统是由enXco承建，该公司主要负责可再生能源项目的创建、构造及运营，其业务范围极其广泛，覆盖全美。
Long Pond, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- Forget about Philadelphia -- Brandon Igdalsky hopes it's always sunny in the Poconos.
Igdalsky, the president of Pocono Raceway, along with track CEO John "Doc" Mattioli and their families, officially opened the track's 25-acre solar farm this weekend. When fully operational, the farm will produce between 3 million to 4 million kilowatt hours per year. It will provide all of the power for the track, and will also add electricity to the local power grid.
After research, track officials determined that a parking lot adjacent to the track would be the best placement for the panels.
The solar farm sprung into action this weekend with a visit by NASCAR's top racing circuit, the Sprint Cup Series, as well as the Camping World Truck Series and ARCA circuits.
The solar power system was developed by enXco, a company that creates, constructs, and operates renewable energy projects throughout the United States.
