Coventry is helping lead Connecticut’s efforts for renewable energy resources and the town of Coventry presently has over 50 solar installations on residential and municipal buildings. This is Coventry’s first solar installation on a commercial property.
Coventry Self Storage uses the majority of its electricity to heat and cool its two climate control buildings. The secondary use of electricity is the lighting throughout the facility.
While it will take several years to recoup the investment we believe it is important for all businesses to be environmental friendly as possible. Coventry Self Storage is also helping its neighbors and friends go green and reduce their carbon foot print by providing recycling for computers and other electronic products. Products can be dropped off Monday – Friday 10 am to 5pm or Saturday 9am to 3pm.
How the solar system works:
The sun bathes the earth with enough energy in one hour to satisfy the entire world’s energy needs for a year!
Over 240 solar panels located on the roof capture and create Direct Current (DC) electricity.
Four Solar Inverters take the DC electricity and converts it to Alternating Current (AC), which can be used to power Coventry Self Storage.
The AC power is directed from the inverts into the local utility system called the grid. The utility company tracks the net energy produced with the utility electrical meter and credits Coventry Self Storage for the electricity it produces.
Encon Solar of Stratford CT is installing the system. www.enconsolar.com
