The multi-million dollar installation, covering
roughly the area of two professional football
fields, is one of the largest in the state of New
York and, when operational in early 2013, will
generate energy for the 24-acre technology,
office and industrial complex in the heart of
Yonkers.
"We are thrilled to bring this cutting-edge solar
energy system to i.Park Hudson in Yonkers at no
cost to the State, County, City or landlord," said
Michael Hastings, CEO of Half Moon Ventures.
In the case of i.Park Hudson, where tenants
include heavy consumers of electricity such as
Kawasaki Rail Cars, the solar energy system will
provide as much as 15 percent of the power to
the complex, dramatically reducing its reliance
on Con Edison's system, especially during peak
summer hours.
"The City of Yonkers is proud to be home
to Westchester County's largest commercial
rooftop solar power system," said Yonkers Mayor
Mike Spano who, as a member of the State
Assembly, co-sponsored the New York Solar
Industry Development and Jobs Act.

New York at a ceremony on the roof
of i.Park Hudson.
