The Project
NYCEEC provided $300,000 in financing to support the installation of a 95 kW rooftop solar photovoltaic installation, a 180 kWh lithium-ion battery storage system and 2 DC fast charge Level 3 units in Westchester County, New York. The solar array will be installed on the building, while the other two components will be installed in the adjacent parking lot. The majority of the solar generation will be available to low- to moderate- income households in Mount Kisco under a community solar structure, while the remainder will supply the battery storage system and support electric vehicle charging. If additional power is needed to support electric vehicle charging, it will be sourced from the grid. NYCEEC collaborated with Sustainable Westchester and eCAMION on the financing of this project.
