A Solar Electric System For Santa Barbara Catholic Charity

Bonterra Solar, a solar energy design and installation company, recently completed a solar electric project for Catholic Charities of Santa Barbara, a countrywide social service organization whose mission is to serve people in need. The rooftop system is comprised of more than a hundred solar electric panels and was installed over multiple buildings at the site. Producing slightly more than 20,500 kWh’s of electricity each year, the solar electric system will seriously reduce the charity’s operating costs by balancing almost 35% of its electricity use. “We are proud to have once been a part of this project and are excited that the savings from our system will permit Catholic Charities to expand its efforts in the Santa Barbara community,” announces Blair Herbert, a Principal with Bonterra Solar. The system was made feasible through a cash rebate through the California Solar Initiative (CSI) which considerably reduced the up-front costs of the solar system and will permit Catholic Charities to attain an exceedingly good return on investment. Bonterra, based in Manhattan Beach, CA, designs and installs residential and commercial solar electric systems in California and Hawaii. Bonterra has installed hundreds of systems and has a commitment to providing cost-effective and quality solar systems that provide financial, environmental and social benefits.
