It offset 70% of the cost of going solar for the organization, and it now redirects more than $60,000 in electricity costs back into Trolley Trestle&#8217;s programs and services each year. Over the life of the system, that adds up to a projected $600,000 or more in savings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a youth services nonprofit, that kind of savings is transformational: it&#8217;s capital that can go straight toward supporting more young people.
