INSIDE ECE C Company Installs Solar Panels As A Part of Its Corporate Sustainability Movement.
E C Company installed a 25 Kilowatt solar photovoltaic system on the corporate headquarters in Portland, Ore. 132 high efficiency solar modules will be generating 27,000 kW hours of electricity per year on the building’s education center and adjoining roof. This is one of many steps E C is taking to be “renewable today, sustainable tomorrow.” E C is changing corporate culture and leading by example demonstrating renewable energy is not only a responsible alternative but also affordable.
“E C is in the renewable energy market and this solar array gives us a chance to provide some specialized hands-on training of our union electricians in the art of solar panel installation and solar design in our own backyard – I mean roof” said Jon Orrell, an E C Company construction director. “We’re choosing to lead by example in the green construction marketplace”
Besides installing solar panels, E C Company also has an innovative corporate recycling program that includes a “green team” dedicated to identifying and implementing new environmentally friendly practices throughout the company. E C Company was recently recognized with a RecycleWorks Award -- a Portland-wide program that recognizes local businesses for their commitment to being more sustainable.
