Museum of Ancient Life to house 1,500 Legend Solar panels
LEHI, Utah–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#earthday–In a continued effort to think green, conserve energy and create a more
enjoyable environment for guests, Thanksgiving
Point reached an agreement with Utah’s premier and fastest growing
solar company, Legend
Solar, to equip the Museum of Ancient Life with a 1,500 solar
panel array. The solar installation will provide a savings of $1.5
million in power bills during the lifetime of the panels, which is an
estimated 60 percent of the current power usage of the museum.
“This agreement with Legend Solar creates a wonderful relationship with
Thanksgiving Point,” said Mike L Washburn, CEO of Thanksgiving Point.
“As we strive to better our property for guests, this relationship also
allows us to soften our global footprint as well. We’re very excited to
partner with Legend Solar.”
Highlights of the agreement include:
- 10-year agreement that includes $2 million to support the mission of
Thanksgiving Point. - The museum will now be called the Museum of Ancient Life in the Legend
Solar Building. - Ongoing marketing support for Legend Solar with Thanksgiving Point
printed publications and social media. - I-15 digital marquee recognition for Legend Solar as partner with
Thanksgiving Point.
Beginning in January 2018, 167 panels will be installed to the museum’s
roof. Each subsequent year another 167 (minimum) panels will be added.
Upon completion, the museum will generate 450 kilowatts of power.
This is the third sponsored solar installation Legend Solar has signed
in Utah. The company previously announced a $10 million sponsorship and
1,500-kilowatt system for Dixie State University, and became the
official solar provider of BYU Athletics, a sponsorship that includes an
800-kilowatt solar power system.
“As a clean energy company, Legend Solar is delighted to join in
partnership with Thanksgiving Point as we educate people about the
benefits of solar power,” said Shaun Alldredge, co-founder and co-owner
of Legend Solar. “We are excited to help support Thanksgiving Point’s
mission to ‘cultivate transformative family learning.’”
This 450-kilowatt solar installation will create an environmental impact
that is the equivalent of removing 3,169 cars from the road for one
year, planting 388,853 tree seedlings or providing enough energy to
power 2,216 homes for a year.
The Museum of Ancient Life houses North America’s largest display of
mounted dinosaurs, including 60 complete dinosaur skeletons. It is also
home to more than 50 hands-on displays for guests to learn about all
eras of dinosaurs.
