Cincinnati Parks bring the solar

The Cincinnati Park Board recently commissioned their second solar power system.  Third Sun Solar and Wind Power of Athens, OH, installed the 10 kW solar array on Park’s operations headquarters building at 3215 Reading Road (45229).  The solar array is an investment in the future as it will produce power for the Park building and reduce utility costs.

Quote from the release:

“Renewable energy systems, like solar and wind, are a perfect fit for Cincinnati Parks. Part of our mission is conserving and sustaining our natural resources, and producing clean energy is one way to do that,” said Willie F. Carden Jr., Director of Parks.
