A new solar installation at the Food Bank of Northern Nevada
is expected to save the nonprofit $33,000 a year—enough to
provide 132,000 extra meals for the hungry. Students from Mountain
View Montessori and Traner Middle School were invited to a
Jan. 14 event there to learn about solar energy from the nonprofit
Black Rock Solar, which has installed several solar energy
systems in the region at low or no cost. The array of 924 panels can
generate up to 150 kilowatts and will cover the entire roof of the
65,000 square foot facility.
