Greentech Lead America:  Sol Luna Solar has partnered with Centinel Bank (member FDIC) of Taos, New Mexico, to provide the design and installation of a Grid-Tied Photovoltaic project at the North-Side Motor Bank location.
Centinel Bank will be the first banking institution in the community of Taos to ‘go green’ with Solar, the company said. The solar array will offset 95 percent of Centinel Bank’s North-Side electric usage.
Utilizing a state of the art solar system with panel level monitoring, the 72 module array is expected to produce 28,000 KWH of electricity per year.
Over the life time of the solar system, and in addition to generating energy savings, the solar installation is expected to reduce Centinel Bank’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by more than 1 million pounds.
Centinel’s commitment to Solar Energy is one of the many ways Centinel Bank has stayed at the forefront of Corporate Social Responsibility. The bank has been offering options for green and alternative building loans, recycling, participating in River Clean-Up projects, providing paperless transaction options, incorporating energy efficient lighting at all banking facilities; and ultimately reducing their carbon footprint.
Sol Luna Solar has begun work on the 18 KW project. Both Centinel Bank and Sol Luna Solar have deep roots in the community ofTaos and are proud to promote the use of renewable energy at commercial locations in Northern New Mexico.
