Townsend Press Goes Solar!

Construction has been completed on a 50 KW solar array atop TP’s Book Center. This system will produce over 95% of the company’s electricity and greatly reduce TP’s dependence on fossil fuels.

Environmental Impact:

• Reduces CO2 emissions 1,500,000 lbs. over the life of the system
• Equivalent to planting over 7,000 trees
• This is the same as eliminating 1,723,502 driving miles
