Signal Transformer Announces Launch of Long Island Solar Energy Project
July 15 2013 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
Signal Transformer, a division of Bel Fuse Inc. (NASDAQ:
BELFA) (NASDAQ: BELFB), today announced the
start of construction on a 129 kilowatt (kW) solar photovoltaic
system to be installed at the Signal Transformer facility located
in Inwood, New York. Signal Transformer is a premier manufacturer
of transformers, chokes, and inductors, as well as custom and
modified-standard products. Their parts are employed in a broad
range of mission-critical applications worldwide.
Once completed, the rooftop solar energy system will produce the
majority of Signal Transformer's annual electricity needs. The
state-of-the art system will generate clean renewable energy onsite
and will offset the equivalent of over 200,000 pounds of carbon
each year.
"We are excited to announce the planned conversion of our Signal
Transformer facility to solar power," said Sandy Axelrad, Signal
Transformer's General Manager. "The decision to 'go solar' is a
fine example of Bel's broad commitment to environmental
sustainability." In addition to the Signal solar project, Bel's
environmental initiatives include the use of alternative (greener)
manufacturing methods and materials, as well as the elimination of
lead and other banned substances from Bel's products.
Signal is partnering on the project with EnterSolar, a leading
New-York based provider of commercial solar solutions. "EnterSolar
is excited to be partnering with Bel on this significant project,
and we applaud them for their continued efforts to improve Bel's
environmental footprint," said Paul Ahern, EnterSolar's President.
"In addition to the sustainability benefits, Signal Transformer
will enjoy significant savings on their ongoing electricity
costs."
The Signal Transformer solar project, scheduled for completion
in August 2013, is being facilitated by Governor Cuomo's NY-Sun
Initiative, a dynamic public-private partnership which is
aggressively expanding the deployment of solar photovoltaic systems
across the Empire State.
