Gloria Spire Solar Wins Contract From Lee
Posted on: Tuesday, 8 January 2008, 03:00 CST
Gloria Spire Solar, a joint venture company formed by Spire Corporation and Gloria Solar, has won a contract to design and install a 308kW photovoltaic solar electric system at The Lee Company's manufacturing facility in Westbrook, Connecticut, US.
The system, consisting of 1,760 photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof of the newly constructed facility, is approximately half the size of a football field, covering nearly 29,000 square feet of roof space. At peak power, the system will generate enough electricity to cleanly provide 17% of the manufacturing facility's power consumption. This is equivalent to the power usage of 34 homes for one full year.
William Lee, CFO of The Lee Company, said: "We are committed to employing renewable energy sources to lower costs while reducing the environmental impact of our operations in Connecticut. We chose Gloria Spire Solar because they are a recognized leader in providing turnkey solar systems and because they have the proven capability to manage the entire project from system design to installation and commissioning."
Roger Little, chairman and CEO of Spire Corporation, said: "This is precisely the type of project we were targeting when we formed the Gloria Spire Solar joint venture. Spire is dedicated to making solar energy as prolific and cost-effective as possible. The strengths and focused efforts of Spire Corporation, Gloria Solar, and Gloria Spire Solar will help us to do just that."
