Metro Energy Solutions Launches Solar Initiative with the Bergen
County Improvement Authority In order to take part in the solar initiative an entity would contact the BCIA and in turn Metro Energy would schedule a site visit in order to complete a feasibility study. Once the study was complete Metro Energy would prepare a report that would outline project costs, annual energy and maintenance savings, and a life cycle cost analysis for a photovoltaic (solar) power system that would also include low cost financing and available grant and rebate monies. To date, a combination of 16 municipalities, schools and a wastewater treatment plant have taken part in the initial phase of the program. Once financing is secured Metro Energy will prepare bid specifications for the installation of the solar projects and provide construction management and oversight of the rebate programs. The projects are anticipated to come on line in the first quarter of 2008.
