LOS ANGELES, C.A. -- Tomorrow, Wednesday August 15, the Watts Clean Energy and Air Committee in partnership with GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles will complete their 2-day installation of the MegaWatts solar project. This six kilowatt DC installation is the first phase of a larger project to bring solar power to the communities of South Los Angeles. The panels are installed by GRID Alternatives and Watts Clean Energy and Air Committee staff and volunteers will be on the north structure of St. John’s Methodist Church and will generate enough electricity to cover 85 percent of the Church’s average utility bill. These savings will allow St. John's United Methodist Church to offer computer and technology lab facilities to individuals in Watts who need them at no cost.
What: The Watts Clean Energy and Air Committee and GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles install MegaWatts Solar Project
When: Wednesday, August 15 at 9:30AM
