IRC Solar Roof Systems, an affiliate of IRC Industrial Roofing Company, has recently completed a 186kW solar photovoltaic installation at Belmont Hill School, a private school in Belmont, Massachusetts. IRC and Belmont Hill School have entered into a Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). As a result, the School will reduce its annual energy costs from the system’s first day of operation and for the duration of the PPA.

The 778 panel project is one of the largest school-based projects in Eastern Massachusetts and the first commercial interconnection for the Belmont Municipal Light Department. The project covers 14,000 square feet on the roof of the School’s Jordan Athletic Center. According to IRC Solar Roof Systems, the solar power panels produce enough electricity to offset approximately 20% of the Athletic Centers annual electrical demand.
