Check Out The Power Of Solar Panels
If you're curious just how much electricity is being generated by ECE's Community Solar project, check out the live solar readings at
www.ecoec.com. The site shows live readings from the solar array and includes a summary of output by the day, week and month.
While you're there, be sure to read about the environmental benefits generated by the solar project. View the energy output per panel, carbon reductions, and the barrels of oil conserved. The site also includes information on how solar energy is generated and delivered to the grid.

Baby, It’s HOT Outside! Try These Stay Cool Strategies For Summer Savings
ike most things in life, saving money on air- conditioning bills is most
likely if you have a plan.
Plan a strategy for keeping your home cool this summer without breaking the bank. Here are six tips:
1. Make sure your central air- conditioning system and/or window unit are operating efficiently by giving them a tune up. Remember to change your filters every month.
2. Set your thermostat to 78 degrees while you’re home, and higher before you leave the house for the day.
3. Turn ceiling fans on when you enter a room and off when you leave. There’s no benefit to running a fan when nobody is around.
4. Close your drapes or blinds when it’s sunny outside to block the heat from entering your home.
5. Avoid cooking in your kitchen on hot, summer days. Instead, grill outdoors, serve cold dishes, order take-out or heat food up in the microwave oven.
