KARE completes new solar energy project.

KARE's new solar energy project has been completed. PG&E did their final safety checks for the new 42 kW solar system located at our Postharvest Facility. This brings KARE's solar output to about 65 kW.  Special thanks to JKB Energy, Bob Ray, Patrick West, Andy Padilla, Santiago Aldana, Rudy Gonzales, Dan Mulligan, and Dale Pattigan for all of their hard work in helping to get this done. KARE will continue to get more green technologies on the Center. We continually strive to lower our carbon footprint and look at new and innovative ways to bring green technologies to our farming operations.
