Hudson Valley Clean Energy and SunPower Corp. have completed a rooftop installation of a 10 kW solar electric power system at the Poughkeepsie (N.Y.) Town Hall.
For this project, Hudson Valley Clean Energy utilized high-efficiency SunPower solar panels and the nonpenetrating SunPower T10 Solar Roof Tile, which tilt at a 10-degree angle to increase energy capture. While SunPower T10 systems are installed on commercial and public facilities throughout California, this is the first installation of a T10 system in upstate New York.
The T10 system is a low-weight, self-ballasted solar mounting system that allows large solar arrays to be quickly mounted on flat-roof commercial buildings with no penetrations to the roof, the company says.
