I’m so excited, overjoyed, energized! to announce that Kiss My Face is letting a lot of sun shine in with a new solar powered electric system! We are now greener than ever thanks to that big star in the sky and many modules of photovoltaic cells on the warehouse roof. We can make our own electric energy and when we don’t need it, like on the weekends, the power will go into the grid for someone else to use. We even get credit from the utility company when the meter runs backwards, it’s a win/win situation.
Hudson Valley
3,158 – gallons of crude oil saved per year
23.4 – tons of greenhouse gases kept from the atmosphere yearly
21.4 – tons of coal a year we don’t have to use
268 – solar modules mounted on warehouse roof
46,940 – watts we can produce with the solar modules
50+ - years of life expected from solar electric system
68% - of our electric use will be powered by the sun
8 – years to payback solar system cost
365 – potential sunny days a year - we're optimists!
