GreenLancer Designs Solar Roof For Lubavitch Yeshiva School In Oak Park
DETROIT-- The Lubavitch Yeshiva International School for Chabad Leadership, Harry & Wanda Zekelman Campus, is a faith-based school in Oak Park. Better known as simply the Lubavitch Zekelman Campus, the school now has even more reason to appreciate sunny days now that a new, state-of-the-art 48.48 kW solar array has been installed on its roof.
The solar array, designed and engineered by GreenLancer.com, is expected to save the school over $300,000 in energy costs in the next 20 years while at the same time providing a clean, sustainable and environmentally friendly power source for the school.
The project will help offset approximately 10 percent of the Yeshiva's annual energy costs. The project was funded by Alan and Lori Zekelman, Bloomfield Hills philanthropists who have been the school's major benefactors for over 25 years.
