Interfaith Coalition Goes Solar!

Later this summer, Western Solar and Itek Energy are teaming up to help Interfaith Coalition reach their goal of going solar on their housing!  As part of our commitment to strengthen our local community, we will be donating labor and equipment at cost to the healthcare provider which serves 44 diverse congregations in Whatcom County each year.

Itek Energy will also be contributing by donating five of the ten panels that will be installed on the upper half of the south facing roof.

The estimated energy savings that the panels will provide once installed is approximately 2,435 kWh per year. That is equivalent to a reduction of CO2 emissions from 189 gallons of gasoline and 1,803 pounds of coal!
