Ambridge 'flips the switch' on new rooftop solar system

Ambridge is the latest Beaver County site to incorporate solar power into its municipal building. Local leaders flipped the switch officially Nov. 5 on the rooftop system at the municipal complex, facilitated through the Rural Innovation through Solar Empowerment (RISE) project in partnership between nonprofits RiverWise, The PA Solar Center and New Sun Rising to accelerate solar adoption in communities throughout Beaver County. The RISE Project began as a two-year initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energizing Rural Communities Prize. EIS Solar of Carnegie installed Ambridge’s 130.9-kilowatt solar system, which was paid for in part by an Environmental Mitigation Community Fund grant. The borough was also able to leverage a 40 percent federal renewable energy tax credit for the project. The solar panels will offset approximately 100 percent of the combined annual energy consumption of the borough facilities at 600 11th St. and 533 Merchant St. EIS Solar estimates the solar array will save Ambridge taxpayers about $509,000 over the next 25 years. “The Borough of Ambridge is delighted to celebrate this milestone with the community and the RISE Project partners,” said Mario Leone Jr., borough manager. “We look forward to reallocating the savings from our electric bill
