Weymouth Business Installs Solar PV System To Help Environment

Kennedy Carpet goes green with new solar PV system.

Kennedy Carpet  recently installed a 104 kW solar photovoltaic system at their business on Libbey Industrial Parkway.

The PV system uses solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity and is not only saving the business money, but also generates income through the Massachusetts Solar Renewable Energy Credits Program, according to Munro Distributing Company, who installed the panels.

The system at Kennedy Carpet also qualified for Federal tax incentives.
