Meadow Ridge has signed an agreement with Verogy, a West Hartford-based solar energy company, to construct three arrays: two on top of to-be-built carports and the other on the roof of Ridge Crest.
Solar panels are devices that convert sunlight into electricity and heat using photovoltaic cells. They are capable of generating power for decades as long as they are exposed to sunlight.

“Not only will the solar installation be self-supporting from a financial perspective, but it’s clearly the right thing to do for our environment by reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions produced by the burning of fossil fuels.
We are very appreciative of the support (and urging) of our residents at Meadow Ridge, the guidance and planning provided by Verogy, the financing provided by the Connecticut Green Bank and the support of Meadow Ridge’s ownership, which all contributed to bringing this project to fruition.”
—Meadow Ridge Chief Operating Officer Brett Mehlman
