ZD Wines Solar Power

ZD Wines » Running On Solar
After having installed our photovoltaic system in the fall of 2007, ZD Wines is now running exclusively on solar power; another step towards reducing our carbon footprint.
ZD’s 712 solar panels are 18 feet wide and span an imposing 500 feet along the edge of the vineyard, that’s 1.67 football fields long.
According to the Alliance to Save Energy, Clean Power Research, 2006, ZD’s system will produce enough energy over the year to do any one of the following:
- Power 22 homes for a year
- Remove the equivalent CO2 that 32 acres of trees would process
- Power 1,238 100 watt light bulbs a year
- Remove the equivalent of 16 cars from the road a year
