“The most Incredible benefit of the solar project is that all of the savings in utility cost can immediately go back into caring for our animals.”
“The Humane Society made sure it employed “due diligence” in the lead-up to the project. All the panels are located on the roof of the building angled for maximum sunlight. Using the roof space preserves the 6.2- acre property for other uses including additional dog runs.”
“While the main goal of the project is to increase the shelters energy efficiency, the initiative will have other benefits, as well. One of those will be disaster preparedness. this solar system will allow the shelter to generate power even if the grid goes down. It also will provide the opportunity for the shelter to play a greater role in assisting local residence and their pets in the event of a disaster.
