    SRQ DAILY

    SATURDAY AUG 31, 2019 |

    This month, Girls Inc. activated the largest private canopy of solar panels in Sarasota County. Their facilities now operate fully on renewable energy, and the switch will save the organization more than $20,000 in utility expenses each year. The project was conceptualized and funded by a $575,000 investment from Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation. The new array includes 564 solar panels and will produce on average 300,000 kilowatt-hours of energy per year. The solar installation and curriculum outcomes were so notable, Girl Inc.’s national affiliate has shown interest in replicating the project at other locations across the country. For the girls, a new generation of environmentalists will challenge the status quo.
