The company will generate approximately $400,000 in revenue through its contract for the Solarize Madison program.
The program was initiated by the Madison County Planning Department and the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board and the Renewable Energy Training Center at Morrisville State College.
Madison County Planning Department director Scott Ingmire said Arista Power was selected out of the pool of installers that applied for a variety of reasons.
"They offered competitive pricing, an experienced installation team, a strong network of suppliers, a familiarity of New York State and the NYSERDA incentive application process, and a strong, collaborative company presence," said Ingmire.
Arista Power Project Director John Benetti said, "The outstanding Madison County team not only brought to the area the Solarize initiative, but they also, through the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board for Climate Change and Innovation Program (C2IP), made Solarize even more attractive by obtaining additional funding with grants."
The Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board for Climate Change Innovation Program C2IP will provide a grant for the Solarize Madison program.
The county will have up to to $30,000 to promote the use of energy conservation measures and alternative energy development.
The Madison County Planning Department is offering fifteen $2,000 grants to help offset the acquisition costs associated with installing a direct-own solar photovoltaic system.
Arista Power expects to complete the installation by the end of October 2012, subject to successful site evaluations.
Arista Power is a developer, manufacturer, and supplier of custom-designed power management systems, renewable energy storage systems, wind turbines and solar energy systems.
