The Siemon Company

“Anyone who believes that ‘green’ initiatives are both disruptive to business and prohibitively expensive should come see what Siemon is doing with the help of Alteris Renewables. Instead of looking at sustainability as a burden, they are finding ways to combine operational efficiency and progressive environmental action in a way that enhances their bottom line.”

CT State Senator Robert Kane

As another step down its long history of environmentally-responsible decision making, The Siemon Company installed a 217 kilowatt system on the roof of its world headquarters in Watertown, CT in 2009. The 217 kilowatt system will produce roughly 230,000 kilowatts-hours of clean energy annually. Alteris was chosen for this project over several other large solar integrators because of its Engineering Design, Project Management expertise, and demonstrated performance across its broad base of commercial installations.
