Meadow Ridge has started construction to install much-anticipated solar panels at the senior living community, with a goal of lowering energy costs and creating a greener future. The Meadow Ridge Solar Committee has been working to bring the planned $2.7 million solar power project to the senior living community for several years. The project was funded by a commercial property-assessed clean energy loan from the Connecticut Green Bank, as well as by zero-emission renewable energy credits through Eversource and investment tax credits, according to a statement from Meadow Ridge. The project, which will be built by the West Hartford-based solar energy company Verogy, calls for the construction of three solar arrays, Meadow Ridge said. Once completed, the solar installation will supply Meadow Ridge with over 890,000 kilowatt-hours, or 17-percent, of the community’s annual electricity for an estimated savings of $7.6 million in electricity costs over the array’s lifespan.
