Stamford Synagogue is the first in the area to go green with solar

The first of 845 solar panels being raised 
on the roof at Temple Beth El 

On Friday, August 12, a large crowd gathered to witness the first solar panel raised on the roof of Temple Beth El (TBE)in Stamford.

A total of 845 solar panels with be installed and in about 45 days, TBE will be able to satisfy 70 percent of its annual electrical needs in this green manner.

It is estimated that this green project will eliminate the following greenhouse gas emissions each year:
1. 100,000 pounds of carbon dioxide.
2. 29 pounds of nitrogen oxide.
3. 59 pounds of sulfur dioxide.

Kudos to TBE in their landmark decision.
