LegalZoom Installs 260 kW of Rooftop Solar on Austin, Texas Office
Austin, TX (PRWEB) July 29, 2014 -- LegalZoom, Inc. (“Legal Zoom”), the leading provider of online legal help for businesses and families, has partnered with Meridian Solar, Inc. (“Meridian Solar”), a leader in commercial solar energy solutions, to engineer and construct a 260 kW solar electric system at LegalZoom’s Spectrum Drive office in Austin, Texas. LegalZoom’s investment in solar will advance its commitment to corporate sustainability and ultimately reduce operating expenses.
The 260 kW solar electric system, comprised of 864 photovoltaic modules, will produce an estimated 345,800 kWh in year one – that translates to first year savings of $22,000.00. The environmental impact amounts to an annual reduction of 450,000 pounds, or 224 tons, of carbon dioxide emissions - an environmental benefit equivalent to planting 8,000 carbon-sequestering trees in Texas’ parks.
”LegalZoom is committed to clean, renewable energy,” said Mike Wilson, VP of Operations. “Going solar is a winning solution all around - great for the environment, great for the community, and great for the business - and the expert team at Meridian Solar helped make deployment of our Austin office solar infrastructure a seamless process.”
Meridian Solar was responsible for the development, engineering, procurement and construction of the 260 kW roof-mounted system. Meridian Solar’s Executive Vice President, Mark Begert, commented, “Working with LegalZoom has been a pleasure for Meridian Solar. LegalZoom had the foresight and seized the opportunity to reduce operating costs with a solar energy solution. LegalZoom understands that clean, sustainable solar energy is both financially astute and environmentally responsible.”
