The Eastern Long Island Solar Project(s) are located at seven parking lots owned by Suffolk County.  enXco will install solar parking canopies to generate solar electricity and provide protection from the elements to the cars parked underneath.  Altogether the project will consist of over 60,000 solar modules covering 46 acres of surface area.  The solar power generated will be delivered to the Long Island Power Authority through a 20 year Power Purchase Agreement. 

Because the project areas are located on existing parking lots they cause no disruption to the local environment. This further displays Solar PV's remarkable ability to have highly efficient combined land uses.  Additionally, the project will generate positive environmental effects such as mitigation of the heat island effect.
