West Hartford qualified as Connecticut's 2nd Clean Energy Community in June of 2005 when over 100 local residents and businesses signed up for the CTCleanEnergyOptions program. To achieve this milestone of becoming a Connecticut Clean Energy Community, the town of West Hartford 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, West Hartford Town Hall received a 3 kW solar photovoltaic system from the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund. This system is comprised of three racks of five Sanyo 200-watt solar modules and an SMA 3800U 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, performed the design and installation of the system.
