Today, Beaverton Resource Center generated 3 Kilowatt-hours of electricity. From fossil-fueled sources, this amount of electricity would have emitted 4 lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere.

This could power:

  • An electric toothbrush for 11 weeks
  • A 42" plasma-screen television for 5 hours
  • A typical video game system for 6 days

The city of Beaverton added a 1-kilowatt solar array to the roof of its Resource Center to encourage residents to make the switch to green power. The solar installation was funded through an ongoing partnership between PGE, Energy Trust of Oregon, and the Bonneville Environmental Foundation. In addition to supplying clean electricity to help offset some of the resource center’s energy use, the installation is also a valuable teaching tool, providing web-based, real-time data on renewable energy benefits.
