The design includes168 SunPower 308 Watt modules, and a SatCon 50 kW inverter.<\/p>\n<p>Freeport Mayor Andrew Hardwick said &#8220;There are many ways a municipality can go green and Freeport has instituted several steps to reduce its carbon footprint.&#8221; Along with the solar power system at the Firehouse, the Village of Freeport has purchased several hybrid cars, a hybrid bucket truck, and replaced 340 street lights with an energy efficient alternative. EmPower has also installed a number of solar residential and commercial systems in the Village of Freeport.<\/p>\n<p>EmPower engineer Emily Hwang, served as the project engineer, and was recognized by Freeport Electric&#8217;s Superintendent, Anthony Fiore, for her high quality work and dedication. All the EmPower team members, including engineers and installers, deserve recognition for their seamless execution of this complicated project. Cameron Engineering was also instrumental to the structural engineering design.<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks, EmPower CEO David G. Schieren said &#8220;The Village of Freeport and Freeport Electric should be commended for its vision and leadership in making this solar project a reality. Municipalities have a critical role to play in advancing renewable energy, and the importance of their leadership can&#8217;t be overstated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>EmPower is especially grateful to Freeport Electric&#8217;s Superintendent Anthony Fiore and Supervisor of Electric Service Les Endo Jr. for their impressive commitment to this project. Their support and technical understanding are making solar energy a reality in the Village.<\/p>\n<p>Many large installations like this one are done on flat roofs and are not visible to the public. This installation is unique because it is on a pitched roof and directly across the street from the Freeport LIRR Train Station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday (November 29, 2011) the Village of Freeport, NY and Freeport Electric held a press conference to announce the completion of a 51.7 kilowatt (kW) solar electric system, which was engineered and installed by EmPower Solar at the Freeport Fire Department Headquarters.
