Save the Earth with Astral Power While You Explore the World of Science at Rochester Museum & Science Center


ROCHESTER, N.Y., Sept. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Astral Power, Inc. today announced a new subscriber partnership with Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC), formalized by both parties on May 19th, 2019. RMSC, a museum dedicated to enriching the community's understanding of science, technology and their impact, will retain Astral Power to provide solar power to its Science Museum, Strasenburgh Planetarium and Cumming Nature Center.

"We believe that clean energy should be available to everyone, regardless of location, finances or any other variable," says Thom Smith, President at Astral Power. "For an organization such as the Rochester Museum & Science Center, community solar aligns well with its commitment to the environment and a desire to make its dollars stretch further. We look forward to working with Hillary Olson and her team at the museum to promote Community Solar throughout Rochester."

Astral Power works with different communities and organizations to provide them with clean local energy through Community Solar. Once RMSC agreed to be a partner subscriber with Astral Power, Astral Power handled the rest, which included reserving a share of a local solar farm in Spencerport, New York, and working with RMSC's electric provider to ensure a seamless transition. There were no upfront costs, nothing to install and no long-term contracts needed. In addition to reducing RMSC's carbon footprint and enabling RMSC to support local economic development, this partnership is expected to save RMSC an estimated $7,500 per year.

"We are excited to partner with Astral Power on this clean-energy project that will benefit RMSC, our community, and the environment," says Hillary Olson, RMSC President & CEO. "Astral Power's community solar program is a real-world example of how science and technology impact daily life, which enhances RMSC's existing efforts toward sustainability and brings our mission to life. Thom Smith and his team have made further reducing our carbon footprint a simle and seamless process and RMSC is proud become Astral Power's newest subscriber."
