Solar panels to help FCC in Vernon County save money, reduce carbon footprint!

VIROQUA, Wis. (WXOW) – The Family & Children’s Center in Viroqua cut the ribbon on their new 62 kilowatt solar farm. The solar farm, along with a bank of batteries, will allow the center to reduce its carbon footprint far into the future.

“Over time we will be completely energy self-sufficient which will help our agency. We are a nonprofit social service agency. Every little bit helps,” President & CEO of the Family & Children’s Center Tita Yutuc said.

Officials said even on a cloudy day, the new solar array is able to generate around 7 kilowatts of energy.
