New Video: Port Washington Public Library Goes Solar
At the end of September of 2012 a first-of-its-kind integrated thin film solar power system was installed as part of the Port Washington Public Library #39;s new SBS Roofing system and started generating clean, green renewable power. This newly released video vignette on the project shows the thin film solar cells adhered to the library roof #39;s cap sheet layer. The Port Washington Public Library is the only building in Nassau and Suffolk counties to generate power this way. The solar system is on track to generate an average of over 42000 kWh of electricity per year and cut carbon dioxide emissions from the Library by over 2.2 million pounds annually. The CO2 emission reductions from the Library #39;s new solar system will have the same environmental impact as planting more than 110000 trees, and the new Energy Education Station in the Library displays the actual energy savings from the system for the public #39;s consideration. The new thin film solar PV system was made possible by funding from Wintrhop-University Hospital through its EcoAd advertising as part of the CBS EcoMedia program. About Winthrop-University Hospital Founded in 1896 by a group of local physicians and concerned citizens, Long Island #39;s first voluntary hospital is a 591-bed university-affiliated medical center and New York State-designated Regional Trauma Center which offers sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic care in virtually every specialty and subspecialty of medicine and surgery.
