I think it’s going to cut in to about 25% of our bill,” said Jessica Williams, marketing manager, with Infostructure. “We all have recycling bins at each of our desks, we’re trying to do what we can locally and individually to be a greener company, but to have the solar panel awnings we just think is really cool to showcase and to show off.” Industry experts said most solar panels are expected to produce power for at least 25 years. The company’s owner said they are pleased to pump clean energy into the local grid and help offset energy produced from burning coal.
