To commemorate Earth Day 2010, the McAllen Chamber of Commerce unveiled the Chamber’s first solar array, donated by the Sun Club. The 2.3 kW solar array is also the first solar energy system to power a Chamber of Commerce in the Rio Grande Valley. The McAllen Chamber, with more than 1,600 members, is committed to powering the economy for South Texas.
“The McAllen Chamber is excited and grateful for the Sun Club’s donation of the solar panels and acknowledges the importance of communities living greener, sustainable lives. This donation continues to support the Chamber’s drive to reduce its carbon foot print,” said Steve Ahlenius, McAllen Chamber President/CEO
