Meridian Solar to install 254 kW on new Austin Habitat for Humanity ReStore and Headquarters
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) September 15, 2015 -- When the new Austin Habitat for Humanity ReStore and Headquarters opens on South First and Ben White in Austin, it will be outfitted with solar energy.
Meridian Solar, an Austin-based solar developer, will engineer and install a 254 kW system on the rooftop and awnings of the newly renovated building. The system will be financed through an operating lease, requiring no money out-of-pocket for Austin Habitat. Additionally, the system is expected to reduce average energy costs per kilowatt-hour by 65% over 25 years.
“We are excited to partner with Meridian Solar. We believe in sustainability not only for our communities, but for Austin as a whole. Using proven green technology keeps us true to this belief,” says Greg Anderson, Director of Operations for Austin Habitat for Humanity.
