50,000 KILOWATT HOURS MILESTONE SURPASSED! Our 46 solar panels mounted on our Nature Center headquarters have generated 50,000 kilowatt hours since installation (5.5 yrs)! Heres what this means: 1. Over 75,000 pounds of Carbon Dioxide avoided with our carbon footprint reduced by nearly 40 tons 2. Nearly 300 pounds of sulfur dioxide emissions, and over 100 pounds of nitrogen oxide emissions have been avoided by generating our own electricity 3. Our system generates an amount of electricity to power the average American home (about 10,000 kilowatt hours per year) 4. About 1/3 of Flat Rock Brook’s total electricity used in the last 5 years has come from our solar panels 5. 50,000 kilowatt hours generated could power a running laptop computer for over 75 years, the average new American refrigerator for over 100 years, a standard CFL or LED light bulb for nearly 450 years
