Namaste Solar works together with Ladies bean project To install a 102 KW solar system on the roof and a charging station for electric vehicles at the Non-profit head office in Denver, Colorado. This installation is designed to compensate 120% of the electrical use of women’s bean project, so that operating costs are considerably reduced and enables the organization to invest further in its mission to support women’s empowerment through employment.
The solar project is fully funded by the renewable energy sources of the city of Denver, which demonstrates the dedication of the city to support renewable energy initiatives in non -profit organizations. During the 25-year-old+ lifespan of the system, the Women’s Bean Project is expected to save $ 300,775 in operating costs.
Moreover, it is expected that participation in the Solar*Rewards program of Xcel Energy will generate $ 99,228 in income for the next 20 years, which will further improve the financial benefits of the installation.
These combined savings will directly support the Women’s Bean Project programs that offer job training and employment to women who have important obstacles to work. The organization offers extensive programs that equip women with vacancies and life skills, so that the cycle of poverty can be broken to build a better future. It is estimated that these savings will finance more than 15,000 hours of program services.
