Save the Bay / Providence, RI

Save the Bay

“The 20 KW photovoltaic solar array on the Save The Bay’s Bay Center roof has operated flawlessly from the day it was installed in May, 2005, by SolarWrights, now Alteris Renewables. The total “turnkey” approach taken on our installation is something Save the Bay intends to never take for granted. And the overall expertise brought to our project by Alteris Renewables is now the standard by which any future renewable energy projects on our site will be judged.”

Mike Russo, Facilities Manager
