Carbon Offset
The NSE—Solar For All system supplies solar-generated electricity to our utility in order for it to meet the District’s renewable energy goals. Currently, the system is estimated to produce more than 750,000 kWh in the first year.

The production of this system is the equivalent of cutting 595 tons of carbon dioxide in our air per year. Check out what that sort of production means for our environment!
The estimated carbon offset of this project is equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions from:
passenger vehicles driven for one year
miles driven by an average passenger vehicle
Or the CO2 emissions from:
homes’ electricity use for one year
barrels of oil consumed
railcars’ worth of coal burned
homes’ energy use for one year
%
coal-fired power plants in one year
tanker trucks worth of gasoline
pounds of coal burned
gallons of diesel consumed
propane cylinders used for home barbeques
smartphones charged
gallons of gasoline consumed
Or the greenhouse gas emissions avoided by:
tons of waste recycled instead of landfilled
garbage trucks of waste recycled instead of landfilled
wind turbines running for a year
trash bags of waste recycled instead of landfilled
incandescent lamps switched to LED’s
Or the carbon sequestered by:
tree seedlings grown for 10 years
acres of U.S. forests in one year
acres of U.S. forests preserved from conversion to cropland in one year
