Hauppauge-based pharmaceutical company, Contract Pharmacal Corp (CPC) has converted three of their buildings in the Hauppauge Industrial Park to run on solar energy.
Contract Pharmacal commissioned local solar installation company in Ronkonkoma, SUNation Solar Systems, to design three solar arrays for their buildings in Hauppauge, totaling over 741,880 watts.
The new solar powered electricity-generating systems will be comprised of a combined 2,182 solar panels and will cover all of the available roof space on three of Contract Pharmacal's production facilities. Although the total amount of electricity produced will only cover 10% of their total electricity consumption, it will amount to saving the company over $111,000 dollars per year in electricity costs.
"We're proud to see that Contract Pharmacal has made a commitment to clean, renewable energy, and we're honored to be helping them achieve their global sustainability goals," said SUNation co-founder and CEO, Scott Maskin.
