WorldWater & Power Corp. (OTCBB:WWAT) has won a $1.9 million dollar bid award to design and install two solar electric systems at the Liberty Science Center, the most visited science museum in New Jersey.
After signing the award letter, Connie Claman, Vice President of Resource Administration for the Center, said, “We all look forward to working with WorldWater & Power to implement the solar power program at the Liberty Science Center. This will be a particularly appropriate installation for the expanded Science Center and will provide great visibility to the benefits of solar power to the citizens of the regions.”
One photovoltaic installation, a 122 kW unit, is to be mounted on the roof of the newly expanded Liberty Science Center facility and will face the Statue of Liberty as a symbol of clean, renewable energy. The other, a 105 kW installation, is a “Solar Walkway” that will lead from the bus parking lot to the center’s main entrance. Here, overhead solar panels will serve double-duty as a canopy to protect visitors from the elements while generating electric power from the sun. Both units are expected to substantially reduce the Liberty Science Center’s utility costs.
Quentin T. Kelly, WorldWater & Power’s Chairman, also commented, “The Liberty Science Center is performing a valuable public service by educating visitors on the advantages of solar power. Most people are unaware that New Jersey has one of the highest, most active rebate programs for residential and commercial purchasers of solar electric systems in the country. New Jersey homeowners, public utilities and industries are seeing that the generous rebates in this state make our solar systems affordable and the substantial energy savings essentially pay for the equipment and installation. With rising utility rates, using supplemental solar power just makes economic sense.”
Cassandra Kling, WorldWater’s Director of Business Development added, “They will not only save on utility costs with clean, reliable energy, but will be able to demonstrate to visitors that solar technology is a hardworking, practical solution to today’s high energy costs. The installations also relate well to the energy exhibits inside the museum and the instruction in science.”
