An investment of $400,000 in lighting upgrades across 10 properties has reduced our consumption of electric power by approximately 1 million KW per year.

This reduction is equivalent to:

•  509 tons of carbon dioxide. Or,
•  Annual greenhouse gas emissions of 97.3 vechicles. Or,
•  CO2 emissions of 42.2 homes’ energy use per year. Or,
•  Carbon sequestered by 379 acres of forest per year.

Kreider Farms is a real working farm supplying fresh eggs, milk, drinks and premium ice cream to select wholesalers and retail stores throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

Headquartered in Manheim, Pennsylvania, this third generation family owned and operated company is nestled in scenic Lancaster County, home of the most productive non-irrigated farmland in the country.

This MBC-developed solar system was our third solar power generating installation. The roof-mounted solar array produces 930 kilowatts of electric power — sufficient to supply lighting and heating to approximately 100 homes.

Savings for the farm are expected to approximate 30 percent of historical energy costs.

We equipped the offices of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection in Phillipsburg Pa. with an 82-kilowatt solar power generating system, our fourth solar installation.

The system is capable of providing about 50 percent of the facility’s power requirements.
