Up until <br />recently the only power they had came from diesel generators, which make a huge <br />racket when they run. This system combines power from solar, wind, and propane <br />gen-sets to meet the needs of the campus. It is the first such system in the state. <br />'�#,��,�,f�� - <br />, y, ��� .v��� � <br />� � � <br />Cherokee Park United Church <br />St Paul, MN <br />Contact: Tom Murphy <br />timnur�h mn a�ginail.com <br />Minnesota's First Municipal Solar Array <br />Royalton City Hall, Royalton, MN <br />Contact: Mayor Andrea Lauer <br />ma.�(a�royaltomm�.com <br />It was not so long ago that solar energy was in the Dark Ages in Minnesota. It <br />took the guts and determination of a few solar pioneers to make the leap of <br />faith required to install solar on their property. One of those pioneers was the <br />City of Royalton, a small municipality northwest of the Twin Cities. Mayor <br />Andrea Lauer educated herself and her constituents and took the plunge. <br />Sundial crafted a unique financial model that allowed the City to reduce its <br />bottom line costs with a capital lease and PPA. <br />With all the solar activity going on in the Twin Cities lately, members of <br />the Cherokee Park United Church began asking their pastor if there was <br />any possibility of installing solar on their building. Not one to waste time, <br />Pastor Tim Johnson and his staff dug in to learn what options were <br />available. What they discovered was the unique financing options and the <br />variety of equipment offered by Sundial. This array stands as one of the <br />largest on a church in Minnesota. <br />Edison High School <br />Northeast Minneapolis, MN <br />Contact: Michael Krause <br />michaelkrause6l (a��yahoo.com <br />With such huge growth in the solar industry it is only <br />natural that some of the educational potential should filter <br />down into the school system. Sundial is the leader in <br />school deployment which is highlighted with this most <br />ambitious project. By school year 2015 Edison H.S. will <br />nearly SOOkw of panels made up of several different solar <br />technologies on roofs and canopies. Each will be <br />connected to a central monitoring station and urilized in <br />educational curriculum. <br />
