ALAMOSA, CO--(Marketwire - March 21, 2008) - Hole in the Wall Enterprises, based in Alamosa, Colorado, has just completed an 8.6kW solar electric system installation. Astralux Power Systems provided design, engineering, and installation services for this solar project.Owned by Darin and Regina Curley, Hole in the Wall will now run completely on solar energy, as 100% of their electricity needs are met by this solar power system. This commercial system is comprised of industry leading Sharp Solar Panels which will benefit from Colorado's 300-plus days of sunlight per year.
"We are proud to have Hole in the Wall Enterprises as our first commercial project in the city of Alamosa," says Dr. Rande Treece, CEO of Astralux. "We also commend Darin and Regina Curley for their efforts to create a truly green business with this 100% offset solar energy system."
The positive environmental impacts of this system are impressive. Over the warranted life of the system, it will offset over 500,000 pounds of CO2 (greenhouse) emissions and prevent over 250,000 pounds of coal being burned.
Utility rebates and federal tax credits and benefits will pay over 90% of the cost of this system. This is made possible by the incredible federal tax benefits available for commercial buildings and the Xcel Energy Solar Rewards program. This system will also save the Curleys tens of thousands of dollars in electricity costs and protect them against future increasing energy costs.
