Hanover Becomes First "Ready for 100" Town in New Hampshire

A 16.64-kilowatt rooftop solar array recently installed at Hanover Town Hall, in Hanover, New Hampshire, is demonstrating the municipality’s commitment to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. The town is home to Dartmouth College, and its grid-tied system includes 52 solar panels and will generate approximately 17,000 hours of clean energy each year. The array will offset 9 tons of carbon pollution annually, equivalent to the carbon sequestered by nearly 10 acres of forests.A second municipal solar array currently under contract will be installed by ReVision Energy on Hanover’s water reclamation facility. The 69.76-kilowatt, grid-tied project will include 218 solar panels which will generate nearly 80,000-kilowatt hours of solar electricity each year and offset roughly 41 tons of carbon pollution annually.
