Sunrise Solar Solutions proposes pollinator-friendly community solar project in New York

Sunrise Solar Solutions has proposed the development of a large solar energy system on 4 acres at the rear of Oakwood Cemetery in Mount Kisco, New York. Sunrise Solar Solutions president and CEO Doug Hertz is proposing a 3,600-panel community solar farm. Con Edison electricity customers within the same utility territory can subscribe and have the solar power credited to their accounts at a discount. According to Hertz, “The system will generate roughly 1.7 GWh each year, enough to power over 200 homes. The project will also provide much-needed revenue to Oakwood for its continued operation.” He added, “This project, designated by the New York Public Service Commission as a Community Distributed Generation site, will generate clean, renewable energy to be fed into the grid, and the energy will then be sold at a discount to residents and businesses in Mt Kisco and Northern Westchester.”
