A building in Watertown has a new solar energy system.
The solar panels installed on the roof and back yard of the IBEW Local 910 building, along with the bank of converters inside, provides electrical power for heat and lights.
It also provides a training site for technicians learning this new alternative energy system.
"We're training people on technologies that will help us meet our future energy needs and that's what we need to do here in New York is build that infrastructure, build a trained workforce that we need to maintain this technology because under Governor Pataki we want New York state to be the cleanest, most renewable state in the nation and we're making great strides with demonstrations like this," said Peter Smith, President of NYSERDA.
The New York State Energy and Research Development Authority has co-funded $740,000 worth of incentives with the I-B-E-W...at this site and three other locations in the state.
