Tri Town Precision Plastics, a Deep River, Conn., manufacturer that offers custom injection molding, has joined a fast-growing cluster of forward-thinking, mid-sized Connecticut manufacturers who are relying on the sun for clean, renewable energy—and the economic advantage it provides. Within the upcoming month, Tri Town will complete the installation of a new solar photovoltaic system.

“To succeed in today’s business climate, we need clean energy solutions that enhance our bottom line,” Goodspeed says. “Gloria Spire showed us that solar energy could be attractive as a ‘standalone’ investment--one that would give us a good financial return on a par with investments we could make in more obvious areas such as new manufacturing equipment,” he says. "They proved that solar could be a viable solution for us."

The Tri Town system will have 1,254 solar modules (panels), will occupy 23,000 square feet of roof space, and will produce about 248,000 kWh (kilowatt hours) of electricity per year.

“Tri Town, and others like them, are proving that solar energy systems are not only a good sustainable investment but a great hedge against future energy price increases,” Goodreau says. “Access to clean and affordable energy is likely to be a major competitive asset in the coming years. Investing now gives these companies a vital jump on their competition and contributes to our environmental well-being.”
