• Alta Vista has a solar PV system that has, since installation on 8/24/2010, as of 8/15/2023 generated 92,897 kWh of electricity and, thus, offset ~56,000 lb of CO2 emissions (at 0.6 lb/kWh in California). The energy produced by this system would have “fueled” an EV for about 300,000 miles or saved 10,000 gal of gasoline.
