Dedicated in May, 2003
Array was donated by Green Mountain Energy Company’s Big Texas Sun Club^®
1.2 kW located on the roof of a Habitat for Humanity home in Houston
Array offsets about 3,100 lbs of CO₂ a year, which is as much CO₂ as a car produces in 3,400 miles; it would take 188 trees an entire year to remove this much CO₂ from the air
The occupants of the home are the Omar family, who immigrated to Houston in September 1997 from Somalia
The array also helps the family save a little bit on their electricity bill each year
The house was funded and built by the 2003 graduating class of St. John's High School after raising the needed $50,000 to build the home
