Bloomin’ Is Going Solar: May the rays of the sun give us power.

Posted October 2nd, 2009 by Bloomin' Flower Cards and filed in Company Culture

We have been tinkering with the idea of solar power for two years now. Back then we had concluded that it would be great to save the world, but it wasn’t really economically viable to go forward with a huge solar project. Now two years later, we can’t afford not to get our solar array up and running as soon as possible.

Today we signed on the dotted line, and put out a chunk of change to get this project started. We chose a company in Boulder called Independent Power Systems to get this job done right, and hopefully we will be powered by the sun before the end of the year.

Our array will be a 29.52 kW Kyocera system made up of 145 high efficiency panels.

I think our array will look something like this.

We’ll be sure to tell you when our seed paper products is finally made using the power of the sun. I can’t wait.
