Hingham Light’s Solar & Battery SystemÂ
We are excited to help amplify the power of our solar array & battery system by sharing this virtual tour with you.
HMLP’s Rooftop Solar Array
Currently, HMLP’s rooftop holds a 40 kW solar system made up of about 130 panels. An expansion to this system, including more rooftop solar panels and solar canopies in the parking lot, is being designed. HMLP estimates that the system will be approximately 240 kW +/- when the project is completed in the next few years.
HMLP’s Battery System
HMLP’s battery system was commissioned in 2021. The system size is 2 MW and it is a 3-hour battery. The battery is discharged during high demand periods (known as ‘peaks’) to generate savings for HMLP.
