Built on a 24 acre land at North Street in Palmer, the facility consists of 8,500 300W solar panels over 772 strings and it is expected to produce 3.25 million kWh annually.
Major Energy CEO Saul Horowitz said that it is a privilege to be kicking off our solar business in such a great market with such strong partners.
"Greenhouse Solar, The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) and The University of Massachusetts have all done – and continue to do – a great job at crafting a program that sets a tremendous example for businesses and institutions in Massachusetts, and throughout the country, on how to exercise fiscal diligence and environmental responsibility," added Horowitz.
Meanwhile, the energy output from the system will be sold to the University Of Massachusetts Medical School for 30 years as per a purchased-power agreement.
The latest project marks Major Energy’s expansion into Massachusetts, with the company launching its full suite of variable rate and fixed rate energy products to the residential and commercial customers in 2014.
