Going Solar
Christ Community Church (CCC) has converted their East Tucson facility to be powered by the sun! Their new system consists of 5 different parking shade structures, which support a total of 1,115 panels. Solar from this system will provide about 87-91% of the power used at CCC. Officials at Christ Community Church decided to go solar in order to "manage power costs that were continuing to escalate." CCC will be protected from escalating utility costs, and will see over $1,000,000 of savings in the next 20 years.
Dave Hoffman, Business Manager, says:
"We were motivated to go solar in order to manage power costs that were continuing to escalate. TFS answered all of our questions with patience and sincerity, working with us whenever adjustments were needed.”
