Solar panels projected to save $667K in East Buffalo Twp.
LEWISBURG — East Buffalo Township will save $667,000 over 25 years if supervisors move forward with installation of solar panels on the roof of the township’s public works building.
At Monday night’s public meeting, the supervisors approved a Request for Proposal from Pennsylvania Solar Center, a Pittsburgh-based nonprofit organization. They also approved a structural assessment of the public works building for $4,500 to ensure it can handle the additional weight of a solar panel array.
