Munro Solar completes largest solar array in Massachusetts

Munro Distributing, Dartmouth, Mass., recently completed the largest single solar array in the state of Massachusetts. The company’s Munro Solar division provided the project design and all of the solar components for a 201,600W DC system that will save the customer over $4,000 a month in energy costs. The installation now sits atop the bare corrugated roof of Dartmouth Building Supply’s 54,000 square-foot millwork and warehouse building. Munro Solar supplied all the necessary components, including 960 Suntech panels, two Solectria inverters and the UniRac SolarMount racking system. Solar Installation Limited, Brockton, Mass., co-designed and installed the system and also obtained all the necessary permitting and state, federal and Massachusetts Technology Collaborative grants. The system is expected to pay for itself within five years.
