“The 1,000th solar roof
represents an increasing awareness on Long Island that we
can take control of our energy future and work toward energy
independence by using more alternative energy technologies,”
said LIPA CEO/President Richard M. Kessel. |

“Installing our solar electric
system was very empowering. We felt that we had taken some
control back on our energy costs and at the same time we’re
also contributing to the community by reducing some of the
strain on the power grid,” said George Karman, homeowner and
Solar Pioneer. |

"Thanks to attractive LIPA cash
rebates, sizable tax credits, and the work of our tireless
SolarCorps volunteers and solar homeowners, a record number
of Long Island Solar Pioneers are doing their part to lower
emissions, create local jobs and cut our dependency on
fossil fuels," said Gordian Raacke, Executive Director,
Renewable Energy Long Island. |

|
"I hope this 1,000th solar roof
helps inspire others to join the effort to help save energy
and the environment," said Beth Fiteni, LI Neighborhood
Network. |
