Solar Carports

/in /by

We recently finished a Solar Carport project with No Fossil Fuel and CMK Construction in Kingston, MA. What started off as a small project lead to building the largest Solar canopy in New England. It is 4.6 mw and is located on 11.5 acres of already cleared land and will have parking spots available for commercial and residential leasing. Solar Carports are one of the fastest growing trends in the solar industry. They offer great long term monetary and environmental benefits. Carports help hedge against the rising utility costs that businesses are facing. Solar Carports can also lower utility costs, stabilize a business’ cash flow and reduce their carbon footprint.

Another thing that makes Solar Carports desirable is that no additional space is needed to achieve maximum efficacy. A roof solar array is limited to the roof size but that is not the case with carports. Carports are ground mounted and utilize the already available parking spaces at the business. These carports allow for significant savings whether it be in the form of credits from the utility company or by selling generated energy back to the grid for a higher price. There is a dramatic increase in this type of project lately with more business’ choosing to go this route in order to save money and become a more sustainable presence in the community.

2020-A Year to Remember

/in /by

2020 was surely a year to remember. Faced with a global pandemic, many local businesses experienced more losses than gains. Thankfully, when COVID hit we were considered an essential business and could continue working on many of our job sites albeit under very different circumstances.  With a dedicated staff and steadfast leadership, ILP was able to overcome many challenges this year and end on a positive note. This video is just a snapshot of a few of our successes this past year. From all of us at Island Lighting & Power Systems, we wish you all a very happy and prosperous 2021!!

MuscoVision

/in /by

Musco Lighting is a world leader in lighting solutions. We have had the pleasure of partnering with them for the majority of our Sports Field Lighting projects. They have developed a system that will revolutionize the way we are able to watch sporting events especially in the age of Covid. Sporting events have always been a way of bringing people together whether it be college, high school, Little League or even Pop Warner. Everyone remembers those Thanksgiving football games or championship baseball game against a big rival, where it seems like the whole town shows up. Sports are one of America’s favorite pastimes, which unfortunately has taken a big hit by Covid.

Musco has developed an innovative, cost effective and automated solution for recorded and live sporting events. This is especially important during a pandemic, where spectators are limited or prohibited from sporting events. This System will bring the game right to your phone, tablet or computer. The system is set up so that it is completely automated and does not require any on site staff. Viewers must subscribe to watch, which in turn generates revenue for the facility. Jeff Rogers, Vice president at Musco said, “Players, families and friends can watch their games from anywhere. Our solution will also generate new revenue for venue owners. That’s a win-win. ” This sure sounds like a win-win and a positive way for families to reconnect during this time.
