Baker Electric Solar Partners with CollectiveSun and Nonprofit TERI Inc.
Escondido, CA (PRWEB) December 18, 2013 -- Baker Electric Solar, a full-service solar integrator specializing in green technology design / build residential solar and commercial solar installations, is pleased to announce its participation in helping 501(c)(3) TERI Inc. save on energy expenses with the installation of an 11.5 kW solar power system. The solar project is being made possible with the help of a CollectiveSun™ investment opportunity.
Baker Electric Solar was selected to design and install the 11.5 kW solar power system for the TERI Marshall House located in Vista, California. The project features 46 REC 250 solar panels with two Sunny Boy 5000 inverters. Baker Electric Solar will use Quick Mount PV for the mounting of the solar panels on the residence’s composite shingle roof. The system will displace approximately 95 percent of the residence’s electrical usage. Over the 25-year life of the system, TERI will realize $77,228 in savings -- it could be more if electric rates increase.
Founded in 1980, TERI Inc.’s mission is to change the way the world views and helps individuals touched by autism and special needs. Its goal is to improve the quality of life for children and adults with developmental and learning disabilities. TERI Inc. specializes in serving individuals who have needs which cannot be met by other existing programs. As a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) California Corporation, the agency serves more than 600 individuals and relies on donations and community support.

“The nonprofit category is one of the most underserved sectors in the solar market,” said Baker Electric Solar Residential Sales Manager, Andrew Berlin. “CollectiveSun’s business model maximizes a nonprofit’s benefits and helps them overcome the challenges of going solar. We’re excited about being the installer of choice for TERI Inc., a community nonprofit we’ve believed in from the start.
