Solarize Madison helps two dozen homeowners install solar panels

When Morrisville State College automotive professor Steve Law bought his 13-acre property near campus 20 years ago, he asked students in the college’s structures classes to design a south-facing pole barn where he could one day install a solar energy system.

This week, students in the college’s Renewable Energy Training Center visited Law’s home to help install a 7-kilowatt photovoltaic array on the roof of the barn, working alongside professional contractors from Arista Power to gain first-hand work experience.

Law is among two dozen homeowners in Madison County who signed up to install solar panels this summer through Solarize Madison.
