2022 – GreenSpark Solar is pleased to announce the completion of a 73 kW roof-mount solar array for 270 on East Apartments in Rochester, NY. This housing project is owned by Dyno Group, a Licensed Contractor and NYS-Certified MBE located in Buffalo, NY.

270 on East features 112 affordable apartments, including 55 with support services for seniors and veterans. The apartments are available to households with incomes at or below 80% of the area’s median income.

In attendance at the 270 on East ribbon-cutting ceremony were Governor Kathy Hochul, Mayor Malik Evans, and other local officials. Governor Hochul said:  “270 on East provides safe, modern, energy-efficient homes to over 100 families and is essential to enhancing quality of life and providing a more affordable and secure future to Rochester’s Inner Loop neighborhood.”

This development is focused on energy efficiency and meets Environmental Protection Agency Energy Star for Homes standards and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority Low Rise Residential New Construction Program standards. 

GreenSpark Solar is honored to be a part of the movement to make the Inner Loop area a vibrant, safe, and walkable residential and commercial community—all while making clean, renewable energy accessible to lower-income families. 

Partners in the project included local subcontractor Radec Electric and CSD Housing, a development consult that focuses on affordable housing. Funding for the 270 on East solar array included NYSERDA incentives related to affordable housing and the NY-Sun program.
