Soltage™ PowerStations are empowing businesses to control their energy costs proactively and professionally.
Sikorsky Aircraft - United Technologies Corp (NYSE: UTX)
Stratford, Connecticut Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., a world leader in helicopter design, manufacture and service partnered with Soltage, who constructed, owns, and operates a Soltage™ PowerStation on the roof of their new engineering building. The solar array consists of 450 roof-mounted Kyocera solar modules and a PV Powered™ inverter that will generate 106,250 kilowatt hours annually of clean renewable energy. “This was an easy decision for us because the environmental and financial benefits are so compelling,” said Sikorsky President Jeffrey P. Pino. David Eherts, vice president of Environment, Health & Safety and Chief Safety Officer for Sikorsky, said, “We’re proud to team with Soltage under a model that can be applied to our other facilities as we further our environmental efficiency goals. We selected Soltage because of their innovative approach and ability to work within Sikorsky’s stringent safety, security and engineering requirements.” The Soltage™ PowerStation was supported in part by a $253,515 grant from the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund. Sikorsky visitors can view the live solar production on a display unit in the lobby. Sikorsky energy managers can access detail energy and economic performance reports through their secure login.

Pilgrim Furniture City
Milford, Connecticut Pilgrim Furniture City partnered with Soltage under a power purchase agreement. The 341.6 DC (STC) fixed array solar system Soltage owns on its roof produces 374,170 kWh per year, or approximately 80% of the building's energy needs. Pilgrim simply purchases the electricity generated from the system. The installation uses SunPower panels that are mounted with a non-penetrating ballast system. Two Satcon inverters convert the power from DC to AC for the building's use. The project received a grant from the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund to partially subsidize the cost of the system. Pilgrim's customers and the public can watch the real time production on a flat panel display while they shop in the store, and the building owner can see historic and current savings through a secure login.

Mazza Demolition & Recycling
Tinton Falls, New Jersey Mazza, a recycling facility looking to control future energy rate increases, signed a power purchase agreement with Soltage for a roof-top solar installation. The 281kW DC (STC) fixed array Soltage™ PowerStation is attached to its sloped metal standing seam roof and produces over 315,230 kWh annually. The Powerstation includes Kyocera panels mounted in a non-penetrating racking system and is connected to the building's electrical systems by a Xantrex inverter. The PV system has a real-time monitoring system and an educational display located in the lobby for public education.

Appliance Dealers Cooperative
Monroe Twp, New Jersey ADC, a regional cooperative buying group with 154 members across six states, stabilized its energy costs by entering into a power purchase agreement with Soltage for a roof-top solar installation. The 633kW DC (STC) fixed array solar system produces 714,190 kWh annually. After ADC completed lighting and electrical retrofits to minimize its energy consumption, the Soltage™ PowerStation provides 80% of the buildings power. The system uses a Satcon inverter and Evergreen panels that are mounted using a non-penetrating ballast system. Appliance Dealers Cooperative can view the real time and historic production and savings over the internet.
