The new solar panels donated by MaxSolar for commercial solar photovoltaic systems will save Buckhorn about $2,500 in electricity annually. The goal is to install additional panels, doubling the amount of solar generated and equaling 20.4 kilowatts per year or over $145,000 in savings over 25 years. By installing the panels, Buckhorn hopes to use the savings to purchase needed bedding, blankets, basic hygiene kits and more for the children in their care.

“During these uncertain times with covid-19 and the economy, we continue to explore ways to save money and increase services” said Billy Smith, Executive Director at Buckhorn Children and Family Services. “Uncertainty increases the need for our services. The savings from solar energy will allow us to reach more children and families in need of healing.”
