Lyme Energy Committee leans toward replacing school PV inverter rather than expanding array
Summary
Committee members discussed options for the Lyme school PV array after the school board reported no recent contact with ReVision; members generally agreed expansion would require a large capital outlay and favored replacing the inverter as a lower‑cost, near‑term option (final decision TBD).
The Lyme Energy Committee discussed the town school’s photovoltaic array on May 11 after a school‑board member reported he had not heard from ReVision. Jim said he had not received an update from ReVision, and Brett said he would follow up with the vendor to seek current information.
Select Board Liaison Michael Hinsley asked whether it made sense to replace and expand the system rather than only replacing the inverter. Committee members generally concluded that replacing and expanding the array would involve a significant capital outlay and that replacing the inverter could be a lower‑cost, near‑term solution; no final procurement decision was made and the cost differential was not specified.
Committee members assigned follow‑up to Brett to check with ReVision and to return with cost estimates and options at a future meeting. The discussion did not produce a formal motion related to the PV project at this meeting.
