Last Saturday, Brighten Solar Co. was part of the central coast solar volunteers at GRID Alternatives Central Coast Solarthon 2015 in Los Alamos. In only one day and thanks to dozens of people from the community, we installed five solar systems for five low-income families. This represents 13.2 kW of clean, renewable energy, $112,700 in total savings for the families over the systems’ lifetimes and 348 tons of greenhouse gas emissions prevented over the systems’ lifetimes, the equivalent to planting 8,183 trees!
