  • A solar water system can reduce your dependence on heating oil by up to 80%
  • One solar panel from the Colby-Sawyer College array will produce 283 kWh each

year, 24 of these panels could collect enough energy to power an average house for a year

  • Weatherizing your home can drastically reduce energy requirements
