NYC solar installation

The Ross Solar Group has completed the largest single SunPower rooftop solar installation in the borough of Queens. The 327kW system was designed and constructed for Ovation In Store Inc and comprises 1,000 SunPower solar panels. The system is expected to generate over 392,000kW hours of energy per year, and cover 100 percent of Ovation In Store’s electricity needs for its warehouse and manufacturing facility. Ovation In Store creates unique in-store retail solutions for some of the world's largest brands including Clinique, L’Oreal, Donna Karan, and Bed Bath & Beyond. “This solar project is a great fit for us as a company because it combines

cutting edge technology with a forward thinking philosophy,” said Ovation In Storepresident BenWeshler. The solar system installation was funded in part by awards from the New York state energy research and development authority (NYSERDA) through Governor Cuomo’s NY-Sun initiative. “We are thrilled to partner with a company like Ovation In Store, implementing leading technology that will deliver operational savings for the company and help secure a reliable renewable energy future for New York," said Robert Kline, director of commercial sales for Ross Solar.
