“Reed School in Newtown partnered with its local Sustainable Energy Commission in the largest solar power installation in the area - now savings of $1.5 million are projected over 25 years.

Several students at Reed Intermediate School experienced the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012, so it was extremely important to the selection committee that its solar installer accommodated a sensitivity to loud noises and limit work to evenings, weekends, and during school breaks.

The school chose Centrica Business Solutions because, not only was the team happy to accommodate its special request, but it was very experienced with this type of project and provided the most comprehensive solution at a competitive price. Centrica Business Solutions designed the school’s impressive system and worked diligently during the requested hours to complete this massive project on time.“
