We were so pleased to share our Solar Energy Success Story at our recent library program. Kirsten Lang from Rabe Hardware provided an informative presentation about the benefits of solar energy, the types of solar panel installations they offer, and examples of residential and commercial installations. The library had 102 solar panels installed in the summer of 2021. In the first year of use the majority of the library’s electric energy was produced by our solar panels which resulted in significant savings in our electric energy bills. Be sure to check out the special “Solar Array Details’’ button on our website to observe our solar energy production each day of the week. To date, our solar panels have reduced 93,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions which is the equivalent of planting 700 new trees.
