Solar Arrays Manhattans Tender

Location ManhattanNew York Power Authority has selected Siemens to design and install a 1.4-megawatt solar system on the green rooftop of the 17-story LEED Silver-certified Javits Center on Manhattans West Side. This will turn into New York Citys largest rooftop solar generation project to date which will offset the buildings electric load while supporting Governor Andrew Cuomos Green New Deala clean energy and jobs agenda for 100 percent carbon-free electricity in New York by 2040 and a ramp up for 70 percent of electricity to come from renewable energy by 2030.More than 4000 solar panels will be built over the HVAC units on the Javits Centers roof so as to not impact plants on the buildings rooftop. An additional street-level solar array would be built on 11th Avenue. Led by New York Power Authority the project is estimated to offset more than 1.3 million pounds of carbon emissions per year which is equivalent to removing 262 cars from the road.
