I-Flemington Area Food Pantry, ekhonza i-Hunterdon County, eNew Jersey, ibhiyozele kwaye yatyhila ukufakwa kwayo kwe-solar entsha kunye ne-ribbon cut on Nov. 18 kwi-Flemington Area Food Pantry.
Le projekthi yenziwe yaba nokwenzeka ngeenzame zomnikelo wentsebenziswano phakathi kweenkokeli zeshishini lelanga kunye namavolontiya asekuhlaleni, ngamnye enikezela ngecandelo lakhe.
Phakathi kwawo onke amaqela afake isandla ekwenzeni ukufakela kube yinyani, i-pantry inomnye ngokukodwa wokubulela - umfundi waseNorth Hunterdon High School, u-Evan Kuster.
"Njengevolontiya kwi-Food Pantry, ndandisazi ukuba baneendleko ezinkulu zombane kwiifriji kunye neefriji zabo kwaye bacinga ukuba amandla elanga anokugcina uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali," kwabelwana ngoKuster, umfundi weSikolo samaBanga aPhakamileyo saseNorth Hunterdon, iKlasi ka-2022. Utata usebenza kwinkampani yophuhliso lwamandla elanga ebizwa ngokuba yi-Merit SI, kwaye ucebise ukuba sicele iminikelo yokuxhasa le nkqubo.
Ke iiKusters zabuza, kwaye iinkokeli zeshishini lelanga zaphendula.Ukujikeleza kumbono wabo wempembelelo, isileyiti esipheleleyo samahlakani eprojekthi aquka i-First Solar, i-OMCO Solar, i-SMA yaseMelika kunye ne-Pro Circuit ikhontrakthi yoMbane esayinwe kwiprojekthi.Ngokudibeneyo, banikele ngofakelo olupheleleyo lwelanga kwi-pantry, ukukhulula i-bill yonyaka yombane eyi-10,556 yeedola (2019).Ngoku, inkqubo entsha ye-33-kW ivumela ukuba loo mali yabelwe ukuthengwa kokutya koluntu lwabo - ngokwaneleyo ukulungiselela i-6,360 yokutya.
UJeannine Gorman, umlawuli olawulayo weFlemington Area Food Pantry, wagxininisa ubunzima bale asethi entsha.“Idola nganye esiyichithayo kwityala lethu lombane yidola enye esinokuthi siyichithe ekutyeni koluntu,” utshilo uGorman.“Siwenza umsebenzi wethu yonke imihla;Kuyasikhuthaza kakhulu ukwazi ukuba iingcali zikhathalele ngokwaneleyo ukunikela ngexesha lazo, italente kunye nezixhobo zokusinceda ukuba siqhubeke sisebenzela iimfuno zoluntu lwethu. ”
Lo mbonakaliso wesisa ubungenakuba lixesha, ngenxa yefuthe elibi lobhubhani we-COVID-19.Phakathi kukaMatshi noMeyi, kwakukho ababhalisi abatsha abangama-400 kwi-pantry, kwaye kwiinyanga ezintandathu zokuqala zonyaka, babone ukunyuka kwe-30% kubathengi babo.Ngokutsho kukaGorman, “ukuphelelwa lithemba kobuso beentsapho njengoko kuye kwafuneka ukuba zicele uncedo” bubungqina bokuba lo bhubhani uye waba nempembelelo embi, unwenwela kumanqanaba entswelo awayengazange abe nayo ngaphambili.
UTom Kuster, iCEO yeMerit SI kunye noyise kaEvan, wayenebhongo ngokukhokela le projekthi.“Ukujongana nalo bhubhani wehlabathi ngokungathandabuzekiyo bekusoyikisa kubo bonke abantu baseMelika, kodwa bekunzima kakhulu kuluntu olungagcinwanga kwaye lusemngciphekweni,” utshilo uKuster."Kwi-Merit SI, sikholelwa ukuba indima yethu njengabemi abahlangeneyo kukudibanisa amandla kunye nokuboleka uncedo naphi na apho kukho imfuneko enkulu."
I-Merit SI ibonelele ngoyilo lweziseko ezingundoqo kunye nobunjineli, kodwa iphinde yasebenza njengomnxibelelanisi, izisa abadlali abaninzi ababalulekileyo ebhodini ukuze kwenzeke.“Sibulela amaqabane ethu ngokunikela ngexesha labo, ubuchule kunye nezisombululo kule projekthi, eza kunceda kakhulu olu luntu ngeli xesha linzima nelingazange libonwe ngaphambili,” utshilo uKuster.
Iimodyuli eziphucukileyo zefilimu yelanga zanikezelwa yiFirst Solar.I-OMCO Solar, indawo yoluntu kunye ne-OEM yokusetyenziswa kwe-solar tracker kunye nezisombululo zokukrazula, ifake uluhlu lwe-pantry.I-SMA yaseMelika inikele nge-Sunny Tripower CORE1 inverter.
I-Pro Circuit Electrical Contracting ifakele uluhlu, inikela ngawo wonke umsebenzi wombane kunye nomsebenzi jikelele.
“Iyandimangalisa yonke intsebenziswano phakathi kweenkampani ezininzi ezizinikele kule projekthi…Ndifuna ukubulela bonke abanikeli-mali, nakubantu ngabanye abenze oku kube nokwenzeka,” utshilo u-Evan Kuster.“Kube sisikhanyiso esilungileyo kuthi sonke ukunceda abamelwane bethu ngelixa sishiya iimpembelelo zokutshintsha kwemozulu.
