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

Hopewell football aims to keep 2009 vibes alive in WPIAL quarterfinals

Last week, Hopewell won a WPIAL high school football playoff game for the second consecutive season and played a home postseason game for the first time since 2009. However, Hopewell’s goals are bigger than just hosting and winning a playoff game; it is about getting back to the WPIAL championship for the first time since that 2009 season and winning its first district title in 24 years. That journey continues against North Catholic at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, in the WPIAL Class 3A quarterfinals at Chartiers Valley High School. “We are going to be confident; we believe in ourselves and we know what we are capable of. North Catholic has had some turnover on coaching, so they do some things differently and have made adjustments,” Hopewell head coach Mottes said. Just as it has all season, Hopewell’s offense continued to flex its muscles last week. After averaging 52 points per game during Western Hills Conference play and putting up more than 60 points in two of those contests, the team cruised to a first-round victory over Mt. Pleasant. While the offensive success has been high throughout the season, many of its starters, including quarterback James Armstrong, running back Nasir

Timing out rain, snow, and chilly air to start a stinker of a weekend

The doomiest and gloomiest part of the work week is upon us. After widespread rain moved out yesterday, a regime of clouds, lake-effect, and chill has set in. A band of rain and snow showers has already set up to our west, with another band likely getting its act together to our east. With our current thinking, the eastern-based band could make marginal impacts over northwest Pennsylvania between mid-morning and the mid-afternoon, including for folks in Mercer and Lawrence Counties. For everyone, cloudy skies will persist with a northwesterly breeze keeping highs down in the low 40s.
