Granitegeek.org: "NH gets largest solar array"
David Brooks, May 11, 2010. I had to update my alternative-energy map: Wire Belt Co. of America today announced a 99-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system, the biggest in New Hampshire, has been placed atop its Londonderry site, next to the Manchester airport. That’s twice the size of the state’s two top systems, atop PSNH and Stonyfield headquarters.
The system, built by Nexamp of North Andover, Mass. will offset approximately 20 percent of total electricity consumed each year at Wire Belt.

The Sentinel: "Solar panel installation approved at Quittacus"
By Ricky Pursley, April 17, 2010. The Rochester Conservation Commission and Town Forest Committee approved plans to install photovoltaic panels on approximately 18,000 square feet of the Quittacus Water Treatment Plant, operated by the City of New Bedford. Some of the plant is located in Freetown, including its postal address, but most of the plant, including the land on which the solar panels will be installed, is in Rochester.
The 435-unit system is designed to supply 91.35 kilowatts of electric power for the water facility annually. The town Conservation Commission’s positive order of conditions requires that the city notify the Conservation Commission one week prior to the commencement of work.
The 210-watt modules will be installed on a bed of crushed stone by Nexamp, with work to begin in August. Link to Article

YOUNG: Workers with the company Nexamp install solar panels on a rooftop in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Company president and co-founder Dan Leary looks on.
LEARY: We only put you on the steepest roofs.
YOUNG: It's a far cry from Dan Leary's last job—he was an Army captain stationed in Kuwait. Leary says what he saw in the desert left him determined to start a clean energy company back home.
LEARY: Nexamp is a full service clean energy integration company and we do everything from construction to life cycle maintenance of these systems and what we're specifically building a lot of these days is solar electric and solar hot water systems. We're building wind turbines. We're building a lot of geothermal systems. We're doing energy efficient lighting systems. Also, combined heat and power systems.
