Avalon's Concord Suites Unveils New Rooftop Solar Array & Green Initiatives
June 12, 2012 - The Concord Suites in Avalon, NJ held a Solar Celebration unveiling a new $500,000 Rooftop Solar Array and additional “green” initiatives that will reduce operating expenses, keep costs down for patrons and make the resort more environmentally sound and efficient.
The 434 rooftop panels, which provide 60% of the Concord Suites overall energy usage, will also reduce the carbon emissions that impact the Concord's surrounding environment by more than 60 tons annually.
Area officials and tourism representatives attended the outdoor event, which also featured a hardhat tour of the Rooftop Solar Array. Hutchinson Plumbing Heating Cooling installed the solar panels on the resort's roof this past November. The result is a greener, cleaner resort that benefits the Concord's employees, patrons and the environment.
