NC company fined for Canton solar project violation

The Massachusetts Board of State Examiners of Electricians recently announced enforcement actions against Donnie Antiveros and Antiveros Construction, Inc. of Etowah, North Carolina, for work performed on the Canton solar farm project at the former town-owned landfill site on Pine Street.

An investigation by the board found that during January and February of 2012, Antiveros used unlicensed laborers to carry out the installation of the racking system on the Canton project. Antiveros admitted supplying the laborers and agreed to pay a $1,000 fine.

The investigation into the matter was carried out in response to a complaint by the IBEW Local 103, which had publicly warned the community of potential safety hazards at the facility — which is now operational and one of the largest of its kind in New England.

The union, which was responsible for the website CantonSolarExposed.com, had previously mailed two postcards warning residents of a “time bomb” in Canton and accusing the contractor of shoddy workmanship.
