At a ceremony attended by state and local dignitaries, Melman and resident Susan Osland symbolically pressed a giant switch to power on the project. Two of the three solar arrays in this project are located on top of the carport above the employee parking lot. The third one is located on the roof of Ridge Crest, which is Meadow Ridge's subacute rehabilitation and specialized care center.

I am proud that we have set an example at Meadow Ridge, "said Auslander, who is known as the" Green Grandma "for leading the Solar Energy Commission and advocating for the project. The residents, owners, and management of Meadow Ridge need a shared vision and courage to achieve this project. I would also like to thank all the partners who have helped achieve this goal

The project was designed and built by Verogy, a company located in West Hartford, with funding from Eversource's Zero Emission Renewable Energy Credit (ZRECS), Investment Tax Credit, and Connecticut Green Bank's Commercial Property Assessment Clean Energy (CPACE) loan.

I am delighted to collaborate with the Meadow Ridge community to implement this solar project, "said William Herschel, CEO of Verogy. This system not only embodies Meadow Ridge's dedication to sustainable development, but also highlights the achievements that can be made when ambitious individuals work together to pursue their goals. At Verogy, we are honored to help Meadow Ridge residents reduce their environmental impact while inspiring others to embrace clean energy
