Fort Mill Solar Panels FAQ

They are Sharp pan­els and were made in Mem­phis, Ten­nessee.

Approx­i­mate­ly 50KWH per day (on good days). On a good day, the solar pan­els will be able to sup­ply the Fort Mill office and also put extra on the grid. YEC is putting all the elec­tric­i­ty gen­er­at­ed back on the grid instead of tying it back to the office. The pan­els have the poten­tial to gen­er­ate approx­i­mate­ly half of the office’s use for a year.

The pro­ject­ed cost, which San­tee Coop­er is pro­vid­ing with monies gen­er­at­ed from Green Pow­er, is $35,449.
