Going Solar…

We are psyched to announce today our plans for the largest single-phase photovoltaic array installation in the state of Vermont (100 kilowatt) on the roof of our Waterbury VT distribution center! We’re expecting to begin construction this spring and have the array operational by summer.
Click here to read the press release and the details.
This project has been about a year in the making and is the culmination of both our commitment to supporting responsible energy use and reducing our carbon footprint as well as a terrific collaboration with the State of Vermont’s Clean Energy Development Fund, Green Mountain Power, and Gro-Solar.
Our hope is that this project draws attention to the role that solar energy can and must play in our regional, national, and global energy future.

i think that this is awesome!
your commitment to quality is reflected in your commitment to our country and our environment. i’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again…
you guys rock!
Nothing but respect for any company willing to be so forward thinking & environmentally conscious.
Today I was in a store and a woman was stocking the display of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters….I was happy to see that she had to stock quite a bit. Hopefully the quality product, the attention to fair trade and now this “Going Solar” will continue and become a standard for other businesses in the future.
Thank you for being…GREEN!!!!!
