Today, Sharp-WA generated 6 Kilowatt-hours of electricity. From fossil-fueled sources, this amount of electricity would have emitted 8 lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere.

This could power:

  • An electric toothbrush for 23 weeks
  • A 42" plasma-screen television for 11 hours
  • A typical video game system for 1 week

The Sharp Electronics project in Camas, WA is a direct result of the success of Clark Public Utilities' (CPU) green power program, Green Lights. The solar electric system consists of two 1.1 kW pole-mounted arrays each containing six of Sharp's own 175-watt modules, and will generate over 2,600 kilowatt-hours of pollution-free electricity per year. Designed to demonstrate the viability of renewable resources in urban areas of the Pacific Northwest, this installation is the fifth in a series of local reinvestment projects made possible by the generous support of Green Lights customers such as Sharp.
