A $6.5 million residential solar project is going up in Queens, New York, that will eventually power the common areas of all 45 of the Zara Realty buildings. To date, solar panels have been installed on 26 buildings, producing 1.3 million kilowatt hours about half the 2.7 million kilowatt hours that will be produced when the project is completed at the end of this year. When completed, it will be the borough’s largest residential solar energy project.
The project is being built by Premier Solar Solutions, a veteran-owned New York-based solar installation company. Zara Realty co-managing partner Amir Subraj says the project is one in an ongoing series of the company’s investments in infrastructure that will not only lead to cleaner air but will also ultimately reduce costs.
