By Greentech Lead America: Arista Power, a developer, manufacturer, and
supplier of custom-designed power management systems, renewable energy storage
systems, announced that it has been selected as one of two contractors for New
York’s Solarize Madison program to install at least 30 solar photovoltaic (PV)
systems in Madison County.
The program is expected to be worth approximately
$400,000 in revenue to Arista Power in 2012.
Solarize Madison was initiated by the Madison County
Planning Department and the Central New York Regional Planning and Development
Board with the goal of bringing solar energy to Madison County with cost
savings through volume purchasing and a streamlined installation process.
“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 Scott Ingmire,
director of Madison County Planning Department.
The Solarize Madison program is receiving additional
funding via a grant by the Central New York Regional Planning and Development
Board for Climate Change Innovation Program (C2IP) that provides Madison County
up to $30,000 to promote the use of energy conservation measures and
alternative energy development.
“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,” said John Benetti, project director at Arista Power.
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.
GE in pact with Arista Power to develop Power on Demand systems
powered by solar and wind
Recently, GE signed a business cooperation agreement
with Arista Power to develop and sell systems that can store electricity from
on-site solar and wind sources and release it during periods of peak demand, to
help commercial customers cut their power bills. The move further strengthens
GE’s imprint in clean, renewable energy.
