Connecticut Green Bank announced that Connecticut's Westport Tennis Club has installed a solar array on its roof using Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) funding. The 60.72 kW system is expected to save the facility more than $328,090 in avoided electricity costs over the 20-year financing term.
For more than 40 years, Westport Tennis Club (WTC) has provided the community with a safe and clean playing environment. The facility features lighted Har-Tru tennis courts that offer year-round tennis lessons, classes and open courts for the whole family.
"We are pleased to announce the successful installation of our state-of-the-art solar roof panels, which marks an important milestone in our commitment to sustainable energy solutions and reducing our carbon footprint," said Robert Mercorella of Westport Tennis Club.
The system was installed by Ellington-based Earthlight Technologies.
"We are seeing more and more long-standing companies in their community, like Westport Tennis Club, installing solar power systems using C-PACE as part of their operations," said Mackey Dykes, vice president of financing programs at Green Bank. "Solar energy helps reduce energy costs, has a positive environmental impact and shows the families that WTC serves that they care about sustainable solutions."
