Powering Sustainability and Savings at Belmont Hill School with Solar Innovation

IRC Solar Roof Systems, an affiliate of IRC Industrial Roofing Company, recently completed a substantial 186kW solar photovoltaic installation at Belmont Hill School, a private educational institution in Belmont, Massachusetts. Through a Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between IRC and Belmont Hill School, the school is set to benefit from reduced annual energy costs from the system’s first day of operation throughout the PPA’s duration.

This remarkable project comprises 778 panels, making it one of the largest school-based solar initiatives in Eastern Massachusetts and marking the first commercial interconnection for the Belmont Municipal Light Department. The solar array spans 14,000 square feet on the roof of the School’s Jordan Athletic Center. We estimate that these solar panels generate enough electricity to offset approximately 20% of the Athletic Center’s annual electrical demand.

The Belmont Hill School project exemplifies the synergy between IRC Solar Roof Systems and the school, ushering in significant savings while advancing sustainability through a substantial solar photovoltaic installation.
