5.25kW Solar Electric System
Innovative Power Systems installed this 5.25kW solar electric system in Lake Elmo, Minnesota in the summer of 2010. IPS expects this system to produce about 6,300kWh of electricity on average per year. Producing 6,300kWh of electricity annually from coal emits about 12,000 pounds of carbon dioxide. Preventing this much carbon dioxide from being released to the atmosphere is equivalent to adding 625 trees to our forests. Over a 30-year span, IPS expects this system will offset 360,000 pounds or 180 tons of carbon dioxide.
