The Challenge
Permanently solve their energy problems
Located at 9801 Decker Lake Road in Austin, Texas, the Austin Hindu Temple faces massive utility overhead to keep its expansive 13,960-square-foot facility climate controlled. To dramatically reduce overhead and take advantage of a rebate offered by their electric utility, management turned to Sunshine Renewable Solutions for a custom 100.44 kW DC roof-mounted solar-energy system.
