The Cabell County Public Library system approved a project to install 853 solar panels across its seven locations across the county. “This project will have many long-term benefits for the Cabell County Public Library and the communities we serve,” said Breana Roach Bowen, the library system’s executive director, in a press release. “In addition to having more affordable power and being more energy efficient, going solar will save the library thousands of dollars yearly,” she said. “We are excited to put that money back into the community through library resources and programming.”

The project is part of a Power Purchasing Agreement with the West Virginia-based solar power company Solar Holler.
