516-837-3459On Wednesday, EmPower Solar honored to attend the groundbreaking of United Way of Long Island’s “First in the Country” DOE Zero Energy Ready Home. The group home will be built by veterans, for veterans, using energy efficiency technologies. The house is designed to have virtually no electricity bills, thanks to intelligent insulation, appliances, lighting, and solar panels. The home will be built through the United Way of Long Island’s VetsBuild program in Huntington Station, Long Island.
At the VetsBuild graduation ceremony held earlier that morning, Town of Huntington Supervisor Frank Petrone commented on the importance of programs like VetsBuild and the work of United Way Long Island. “We look to our soldiers to protect us, and when they come home, it’s their turn.”
The ceremony celebrated recent graduates of the VetsBuild program, and included remarks by Jets Cornerback Antonio Cromartie.
