System:
100.1 kW Grid-Tied PV System

Overview:
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is helping to keep the Green Mountains green with a 100.1 kW solar array. This array becomes the largest photovoltaic array in the state of Vermont and was made possible through an innovative partnership between Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, the state of Vermont, Green Mountain Power and groSolar. groSolar CEO Jeff Wolfe says Vermont’s tax incentives for commercial solar systems, coupled with grants from the Vermont Department of Public Service’s Clean Energy Development Fund and Green Mountain Power, made the economies of a commercial system very attractive.
groSolar installed the system at GMCR’s Waterbury, VT headquarters using the PanelClaw flat roof mounting system. Although this system will produce only a small portion of the total electricity used by Green Mountain Coffee, it provides a look into what is possible for the future of energy.
