2kW Solar Electric System
Innovative Power Systems installed this 2kW solar electric system in Stillwater, Minnesota in 2009. IPS expects this system to produce about 2,500kWh of electricity on average per year. Producing 2,500kWh of electricity annually from coal emits about 5,000 pounds of carbon dioxide. Preventing this much carbon dioxide from being released to the atmosphere is equivalent to adding 255 trees to our forests. Over a 30-year span, IPS expects this system will offset 150,000 pounds or 75 tons of carbon dioxide.
