M3E recently completed a couple of good-sized residential PV systems.  The first, in the north end of Hagerstown is over 10 kW.  This beautiful home had 3 roof surfaces facing near-south that were ideal for collectors.  The second system was our first foray into Carroll County.  It is about 8.5 kW and on 2 roof surfaces. On both we used Suniva 235 W panels and Fronius inverters.

On February 3rd a 104 kW ground-mounted solar PV system became operational at the Town of Hancock's Waste Water facility.  This is the ONLY Maryland Project Sunburst project in Washington County.  Millennium 3 Energy constructed the system, and it will be owned and operated by M3E Solar, our sister company.

Congratulations to Copyquik Printing and Graphics for winning the Hagerstown-Washington County Chamber of Commerce Going Green Award.  Good friend and client Barry Martin was recognized for the various energy technologies he has incorporated at the Copyquik facility on Oak Hill Avenue.  They have an energy efficient lighting system, they use mostly recycled products, and of course, they have the 30 kW solar PV system that M3E installed.  The system is performing very, very well.  Full year output is a couple of percent above original estimates.  Way to go, Copyquik!

...And with those words Millennium 3 Energy is now a Pennsylvania Sunshine Solar Program "Qualified PV Installer."  Just in time for this bit of news from the PA Office of Energy and Technology...

          "The PA Sunshine Program is, as of August 19, 2011 in the "Waiting List" phase of the program. PA Sunshine rebate reservations will continue to be received. However, a PA Sunshine rebate is not guaranteed."

SIGH!!

The Graff's near Boonsboro had a beautiful garage/shed building constructed near their house.  I believe the upstairs will be a game room for their grandkids, and the lower level will be a large handyman/shop area for Mr. Graff.  The shed has awesome limestone walls and a finished wood floor for the game room.  It also boasts a 4.2 kW black panel solar PV system!
