Schenectady County Solar

Schenectady County's commitment to renewable energy shines brightly with its extensive investment in solar fields across the entire county. Thanks to a visionary partnership with Monolith Solar, the County took a significant stride towards sustainability by constructing 6 solar fields in Glenville, Niskayuna, and Rotterdam. The county also harnesses solar power from panels installed on several county library branches, the DEPW building, and the Schenectady County Recreational Facility Ice Rink.

The Schenectady County Solar Consortium

With every ray of sunlight that covers our solar fields, the county is generating clean electricity, powering its facilities and libraries with renewable energy. Even the villages and towns, as well as the city benefit. Working with DSD Renewables (formerly GE Solar) the County built 7 additional solar fields and created the Schenectady County Solar Consortium.With the consortium, your local municipality saves on energy costs and powers a portion of their facilitaties with a cleaner and greener energy source.
