Alteris Renewables installed 800 pole-mounted high-efficiency solar panels in the lawn adjacent to the entrance of Timex Group’s headquarters in Middlebury, CT, one of the largest, if not the largest, ground-mounted solar electric installation in the state of Connecticut. It is also one of the largest solar power installations in the northeastern United States. This photovoltaic (PV) system is designed to generate 285,439 kilowatt-hours a year – enough electricity annually to power nearly 32 average Connecticut homes. The system output will avoid over 6.6 million pounds of carbon dioxide, 28,000 pounds of sulfer dioxide and 11,000 pounds of nitrogen oxide over the 25-year life of the system.
