Upgrades to Our Solar Power System

This January we purchased 2 more solar panels and increased our daily energy harvesting capacity by 66%. Our off-grid power system allows us to run our engineering and support operations 100% off of the abundant power of the sun.

On average our power system can harvest about 4KWh of electricity a day. When generated by conventional methods 4KWh of electricity a day releases 6.4 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every day. That's more than 2370 pounds of carbon dioxide every year!

We've found it quite easy to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide we directly contribute to the problem of global warming. But you don't have to be off the grid to make drastic and positive changes to your business's carbon emissions. Using energy efficient lighting and making energy efficiency a priority on your equipment purchasing decisions can reduce your electric bill and carbon emissions significantly.
