Alba Energy Helps Local Wedding Venue ‘Green’ Their Ceremonies & Celebrations
Brodie Homestead is bringing green-themed weddings to a whole new level. The Sunset Valley, Texas-based wedding venue and event space recently installed a solar project that covers the roof of their historic barn.
The solar installation will cover the majority of Brodie Homestead’s energy needs and save the company more than $230,000 over the next 25 years.
Austin-based Alba Energy designed and installed a 90-panel, 26.55-kilowatt solar array on the rooftop of Brodie Homestead’s wedding barn which sits at 5211 Brodie Ln.
The new solar roof will annually produce 39,940 kilowatt-hours of electricity — the equivalent of 10.4 tons of waste being recycled or 3,345 gallons of gasoline consumed.
The system will pay for itself in under 5 years, followed by an additional 20+ years of clean energy production and financial savings.
“Before we got solar our electric bills were about $1,200 per month. Since going solar with Alba the bills have dropped to between $90 and $180 per month. They’ve gone down quite a bit!” -Juliana Ross, Brodie Homestead’s Director of Events
Sean Taylor, a senior solar consultant with Alba Energy, says his company is seeing more customers go solar with a combined desire to save money and express their green-minded identities and ideals.
“More and more businesses like Brodie Homestead are looking at their energy needs with a long-term perspective,” he said. “Solar reduces long-term operating costs which increases profitability, and paves the way for businesses to be more environmentally friendly and attract similarly green-minded customers.”
