Newton-Wellesley Hospital has taken a big step in reducing its dependence on fossil fuels and carbon footprint. Since last January, contractors from General Electric worked on the installation of the impressive solar energy array, which now covers the employee parking garage. The solar panels will save costs while providing clean energy.
