2024 Solar Panel Impact

Nell's Woodland's 2024 solar energy performance demonstrates significant operational efficiency and environmental impact. The installation generated 241 MWh while consuming 225 MWh. With 71% self-consumption and regular grid contributions, our system prevented 450,383 pounds of CO2 emissions - equivalent to 3,403 trees.  This dual approach of natural woodland and solar technology demonstrates our commitment to practical environmental stewardship.

66% of the solar energy produced went back to powering The Woodland's facilities, while 34% went back to the grid. 
Additionally, 71% of the energy we consumed this year came directly from our solar panels, while the other 29% was supplied from the grid.

Production & Consumption
This chart compares solar production, consumption, and self-consumption levels from each month of 2024. It displays our strong solar performance, especially during summer months
