It is expected to generate 285,874 kWh per year, offsetting more than 99.5 percent of the facility\u2019s electricity use and over 200 tons of carbon emissions, the equivalent of powering 27 homes annually. That will save Tiao Peng $61,597 in electricity costs each year and more than $2.1 million over the life of the system.
