Here Comes the Sun!


Cummings Properties completed the first phase of a major 200 kW photovoltaic solar panel installation at TradeCenter 128 in Woburn. Following approval by local authorities, Cummings employees assembled and installed the 518 - 3' x 5' solar panels in a 36-hour period.
The solar panel array will produce more than 107,000 kilowatts of very green power per year. To view a real time graph of the power generated by the panels, click here.
Partially funded by a grant by the Massachusetts Renewable Energy Trust, the panel array will generate upwards of 10 percent of the common area lighting and HVAC systems at 300 TradeCenter. It is among the largest solar installations to date in Massachusetts.
The system consists of 518 Canadian Solar panels, a 95 kW Solectria Inverter, and Unirac support racks supplied by Munro Distributing of Fall River, Massachusetts.
