Fantastic results from a Solarize the Triangle project!

Pullen Memorial Baptist Church went solar through the Solarize the Triangle program. Yes Solar NC installed a 22 kW system using 50 CertainTeed panels and 1 CPS inverter.

The church shared a blog about the first anniversary of having solar and said, “The panels produced 88,560 kWh of electricity, which was 6.7% more energy than expected! This reduced our electric bill by $5,844!
