PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 26, 2010 -
In “a unique architectural statement to energy conservation” Lighthouse Solar http://www.lighthousesolar.com has contributed a photovoltaic solar system to a new merry-go-round in Colorado. Lighthouse Solar, a solar installer rooted in Nederland since 2006, has donated and installed the equipment and will donate the electricity produced by the solar system. The building will have demonstration areas to educate visitors on the various green aspects of the building. The carousel will also be a destination for the disabled, inviting groups to share the enjoyment of youthfulness.

The 5-kilowatt system uses 27 Lumos http://www.lumossolar.com solar panels and is expected to produce over 7,000 kWh per year. The system will save the Carousel an estimated $40,000 in electrical costs over the next 25 years. Lighthouse Solar owns and maintains all equipment and receives a monthly payment for the electricity produced by the system. The system is one of the first installed under Xcel Energy’s Residential Third Party Ownership Program, in effect since September 2009. Third party owned residential systems continue to be installed by Lighthouse Solar under its Solar Saver http://www.solarsavernow.com solar system financing program.
