Sikorsky 航空已經(jīng)啟動(dòng)了公司的第一個(gè)太陽(yáng)能電池板陣列。該公司在其康涅狄格州Stratford市的廠區(qū)新建工程屋頂上安裝了450塊太陽(yáng)能電池板。
    太陽(yáng)能光伏發(fā)電系統(tǒng)有望每年產(chǎn)生106250千瓦時(shí)清潔電力。該公司估計(jì)，其環(huán)保效益相當(dāng)于在環(huán)境中清除了72,000磅二氧化碳，53磅氮氧化物以及31磅二氧化硫。
    Soltage構(gòu)建了Sikorsky的太陽(yáng)能能源站。該可再生能源公司還將擁有該光伏發(fā)電系統(tǒng)的所有權(quán)并運(yùn)營(yíng)該系統(tǒng)及項(xiàng)目資金的所有資金。根據(jù)合同，Sikorsky將以固定利率購(gòu)買該系統(tǒng)產(chǎn)生電力?？的腋裰萸鍧嵞茉椿馂镾oltage贈(zèng)款25351500美元，大約占Soltage裝備費(fèi)用的四成。
    大約五年前康涅狄格出臺(tái)了全美最慷慨的太陽(yáng)能獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)方案，幫助了數(shù)十家公太陽(yáng)能公司發(fā)展壯大，但目前國(guó)家補(bǔ)貼資金已用完。

    Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. has activated the company’s first solar panel array, consisting of 450 panels mounted on the rooftop of a new engineering building at the company’s campus in Stratford, Conn., reports The New Haven Register.
    The solar photovoltaic system is expected to generate 106,250 kilowatt-hours of renewable energy annually. The company estimates that the environmental benefits are equal to removing more than 72,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, 53 pounds of nitrogen oxide and 31 pounds of sulfur dioxide from the environment.
    Soltage constructed Sikorsky’s Solar PowerStation. The renewable energy company also owns and operates the system and funds all of the capital for the project. Under the agreement, Sikorsky purchases the electricity generated from the system at a negotiated fixed rate. A $253,515 grant from the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund covered about 40 percent of Soltage’s equipment costs.
    About five years ago Connecticut had one of the most generous solar incentive programs in the country, which fueled the growth of dozens of solar companies, but state subsidies have run out of funds.
