RE/MAX Alliance is making a conscious effort to go green by utilizing alternative energy sources. Last winter RE/MAX Alliance installed 20 kilowatts of solar Photovoltaic panels on two of their buildings to provide electric energy throughout the offices. The panels are divided into two 10-kilowatt systems each on the Arvada and Evergreen offices.
RE/MAX Alliance is taking advantage of Colorado’s sunshine. On average, Colorado gets approximately 300 sunny days throughout the year, and with the altitude levels, Colorado is one of the best places in the country for Photovoltaic panels.
Photovoltaic panels create electric power when the sun strikes each panel’s surface. As the sun strikes each panel’s wafer (a typical panel has anywhere from one dozen to hundreds of these wafers, which are connected by aluminum frames), electrons are collected and produce electric power. The Photovoltaic panels have no moving parts that allows for minimal maintenance, durability, and a very long life span.
“We have always been committed to our agents and customers alike,” said Chad Ochsner, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Alliance. “We feel that by investing in solar energy, RE/MAX Alliance as a company is giving back to the community by helping the environment. We all want a better future for the next generation and beyond, and conserving energy is a very important endeavor.”
RE/MAX Alliance is excited and proud about the opportunity to be more eco-friendly and utilize alternative energy sources. With the recent installations, RE/MAX Alliance is open to implementing alternative energy sources like Photovoltaic panels into more of the 21 RE/MAX Alliance offices across the Front Range.
