Solar Energy at the Tugboat Inn

Green Hotel

Lafayette Hotels of Boothbay Harbor have partnered with local solar company ReVision Energy to install grid-tied photovoltaic solar energy arrays at the Tugboat and Boothbay Harbor Inns through the GridSolar Boothbay pilot project.

In 2014, 80 panels at the Tugboat Inn produced 25,726 kWh of zero-emission solar power and offset 13.63 tCO2 (metric tons of carbon dioxide) emissions. 152 panels at Boothbay Harbor Inn produced 53,640 kWh of zero-emission solar power. This array offset 28.43 tCO2 emissions.
