Middletown qualified as Connecticut’s 1st Clean Energy Community in June of 2005 when Wesleyan University signed up for 1,000,000 kWh’s of clean energy through the CTCleanEnergyOptions program. To achieve this milestone of becoming a Connecticut Clean Energy Community, the city of Middletown joined the SmartPower 20% by 2010 Campaign and local residents, businesses and institutions signed-up to support the CTCleanEnergyOptions program.
For its clean energy leadership, Middletown High School received a 2 kW solar photovoltaic system from the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund. This system is comprised of two racks of five Sanyo 200-watt solar modules and an SMA 2500U inverter for this grid-connected application. A technology from Fat Spaniel provides the communications gateway to monitor the system’s performance (see below). A company called PV Squared, a New Britain Connecticut-based company, installed this first-of-its-kind system.
