Two Connecticut wine and spirits distributors have added 559 kilowatts worth of solar arrays on their rooftops.

Allan S. Goodman in East Hartford installed a 234-kilowatt system using a special 15-year renewable energy credit contract from Connecticut Light & Power. The distributor will draw 70 percent of its power needs from the solar panels.

Eder Bros. in West Haven installed a 325-kilowatt system using the same style of 15-year REC contract from United Illuminating.

Both arrays were installed by New York City-based EnterSolar. Both projects will have a ribbon cutting on Feb. 27.
