Frances Seybold, MCBQ Commstrat - The MCBQ Recycling Center solar project, completed March 22, placed a 96-panel system with battery backup, capable of producing 35kw of power during solar peak times, and four hours of backup electricity for basic operations. The electricity created will supply the basic energy needs for the recycling center: lights, heat, air conditioning in a small space, roll-up door and a few outlets throughout the facility.
