Solar Panels at the Miller Center:
The system is net-metered system of 40,768 w, and has 182 PV modules, with an estimated energy production of 44,880 kWh per year.
According to our utility company, Burlington Electric Company, in FY2021, the Lakeside PV system generated 153.85 MMBtus or 45123 KWH
More information is available here:

Champlain has a 90 AC-KW array system at 194 St. Paul Street. The net-metering application for 194 St Paul St was filed on 6/28/2018, and Champlain transferred the RECs to the utility. (so Champlain does not own the RECs on this one.)
