Local Food Bank gets Solar from Advanced Energy Systems

Advanced Energy Systems is currently installing an 85 KW photovoltaic system on the roof of Food For Lane County, a local Food Bank. When completed, the system is estimated to generate over 95,000 KW of electricity annually. Over the anticipated 35 year lifespan of the project, over 3 million KW hours are expected to be produced. That is ...the equivalent of over 260,000 gallons of gasoline. Translated to an automobile burning fuel at 27 mpg, that automobile could circle the globe 271 times just on the output of one rooftop system. The project is using SolarWorld modules, and touts the fact that over 90% of the components are produced in Oregon.
