Solar Powered Shafer Vineyard
Generating power through solar panels and solar shingles in strategic locations throughout their property, this family owned business has substantially lowered their energy costs. Looking at the lifetime of Shafer’s system (approximately 30 years), utilizing solar power will provide the air-purifying equivalent of planting 17,000 trees, because of the greenhouse gasses that will not be produced. Shafer Vineyard is an excellent example of how a business can be ecologically responsible and flourish by using solar power and sustainable agriculture.
