On Sunday, Sept. 18th St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church, Elizabeth celebrated the completion of its new solar array. Congregation President Elaine Klippert cut the ribbon and Eagle Point Solar CEO Jim Pullen presented a picture of the completed project with information about the array, a 17.22 kW DC system producing 23,097 kWh of electricity. This supplies 102 percent of the annual electricity usage of the church and parsonage. Projected first-year savings are $2,793. The estimated 25-year electric bill savings for the church is over $105,000. Over the array’s lifetime, the system will offset 437.73 tons of carbon dioxide. This is equivalent to recycling 1,532 tons of waste, displacing the annual carbon dioxide emissions from 85 homes, or planting 10,998 trees. Here, participating in the ribbon cutting are, from left: Jim Cox, Karen Steffenson, Jim Pullin, Susan Klemmt, Esther Heidenreich, Sharon Kuzmenko, Glen Steffenson, Elaine Klippert, Mike Klippert, Pastor Mike Nesbit, Anita Hanson, Heidi Dittmar, Bob Dittmar, Daryl Busch, Rhonda Bonvillain, Marla Bernhard and John Bernhard.
