Direct Energy Solar, a Centrica Business Solutions Company, said that it has been recognized as a PACEsetter by the Connecticut Green Bank during an award ceremony at the Energize Connecticut Center in North Haven.

The Connecticut Green Bank awarded Direct Energy Solar and Durham Agricultural Fair Association, Inc. the PACEsetter Outstanding Project Award for their solar project, a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) secured by Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE), at the Durham Agricultural Association Fairgrounds in Durham, CT. The system is 188.65 kW and composed of 686 Hanwha QCell 275-watt panels with a SolarEdge Inverter System.

The PACEsetter Awards were created by the Connecticut Green Bank to acknowledge those who are advancing the green energy movement through the C-PACE program, and whose leadership establishes a "pace" for others in their field to follow. This is the third annual PACEsetter Awards ceremony.

C-PACE is a program, administered by the Green Bank, which helps commercial, industrial, and non-profit property owners access affordable, long-term financing for meaningful energy upgrades to their buildings. C-PACE enables building owners to finance qualifying energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements through a voluntary assessment on their property tax bill. The Green Bank recently announced that they had closed their 200th C-PACE project.

The Connecticut Green Bank acknowledged contractors, building owners and other stakeholders across multiple categories. For a full list of the award recipients, visit: https://www.ctgreenbank.com/2017-pacesetter-awards/.
