Sussex Conservation District in Georgetown held an open house April 23 celebrating the installation of a solar electric system and the newly renovated facility. The 39.48 KW solar system is designed to cover the electric consumption at the Shortly Road facility.
Sussex Conservation District partnered with Paradise Energy Solutions to install the solar energy system. The decision to install solar makes economic and environmental sense. It is an example of the Sussex Conservation District’s commitment to enhancing, maintaining, protecting and improving the environment and natural resources.
Numerous state and local officials attended the open house to celebrate this milestone with Sussex Conservation District and its board of directors.
