A Tullahoma business has gone green with the installation of solar panels! The Bailey Company, which is a forklift dealership in the Tullahoma Industrial Park, is the first of its kind to add solar panels to the TUB power grid. 104 panels were installed in September at the facility and have since generated about 8,500 kilowatt hours of power, amounting in $1,150 in revenue. Through the Green Power Providers program, TVA pays premium rates to program participants for 100 percent of the output of their renewable energy generation systems. The use of solar panels helps to eliminate harmful greenhouse gas, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide emissions, all while alleviating the strain on TVA to generate power. It is estimated that the Bailey Company’s solar electric system will generate about $5,500 in utility credits annually. (Credit: LightTube Cable)
