North Coast Seafood

Moving the materials to the roof.

Essex Commercial Construction was hired by Gloria Spire Solar to deliver the materials and assemble the brackets for a photovoltaic array used on the roof of North Coast Seafood in Boston, Massachusetts.

Materials on the roof.

Northcoast Seafood is a seafood distribution and resale company in downtown Boston. The installation of 117.6 kW of photovoltaic panels is planned and will be designed to maximize summer production levels. As a seafood company, utilizing peak summer conditions will be of great benefit to Northcoast. The array will consist of 672 panels manufactured in Massachusetts, and will be in Boston, a state economic target area. The 100,000 square foot, 2 story building will has a south facing exposure and the PV panels will be spread over a few different locations to avoid building obstructions.
