Let the Sun Shine!
by Jim Merrill
At the January 7, 2018 meeting of Seventh Principle Environmental Action Team (7PEAT), we learned that the installation of our solar panels in 2015, our church rooftop generation plant has produced 74,750 kWh (kilowatt hours) of electricity. To put that figure in perspective, the average California home uses 6,684 kWh annually. Our rooftop panels have generated enough power for 11.2 California homes per year since 2015!
The 7PEAT team is glad to share with anyone how our congregation is reducing our carbon footprint through photovoltaic generation and through our many other sustainability initiatives.
