New York’s housing authority champions on-site solar
The New York City Housing Authority has committed to introduce solar panels on its roofs beginning in 2017. By 2025, the agency plans to bring in vendors to provide 25 MW on its open rooftops and possibly on canopies above parking lots. Some 2.5 million square feet of photovoltaic panels would be deployed and the array would be designed to produce enough energy to power 6,600 apartments.
