Gleaners GREEN Intiatives Program
These 72-15 kW PV solar panels are now installed on the roof at the Gleaners Food Bank in Belleville.The system will produce 22,704 kWh per year of electricity and reduce emissions by 12,178 kg of CO2.
The $100,00-solar-panels project was entirely financed through the support of the Parrot Foundation.
"This funding from the Parrot Foundation made a huge difference in the realization of this project," said Quinlan. "Without their support we could not ensure that public funds are directed to purchase of food supplies. In 2010, the Gleaners food and food transport budget has increased to date to approximately $46,800 compared to 2009's total costs of $37,821,"
