SOlar's Bright Future

Here comes the Sun!
CQI Associates is proud to announce that our 24th successful solar field project is now online and producing enough energy to power a school.

This latest one is in Decatur, Illinois at the Unity Christian School. The array is situated on the school’s campus between the football and baseball fields. The 2,028 panels cover three acres of land and generate 912 kilowatts of energy. The array will produce 98% of the power the school will use.

In the picture, CQI founder, Richard Anderson officially cuts the ribbon energizing the school's solar array. Students at the school say "they are excited to have a living classroom where they can learn how solar energy saves the planet and powers their school".

If you think your school or business can benefit from a solar system, contact CQI associates. [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected]

Let's make our Thanksgiving energy-efficient this year! 💡✅⚡️🍗🍁🦃

Here's how you can minimize your energy costs on Thanksgiving!

1. Cook sides with the turkey to reduce cooking times.
2. Don't keep opening the oven door to check on the turkey.
3. Load the dishwasher to full capacity before starting it.
4. Use ceramics to cook food faster on low heat settings.

Have an amazing holiday!
