Solar Power’s Help To The Ronald McDonald Home

In East Austin, the Ronald McDonald House is currently undergoing some changes and some fixing up. And as part of the whole set of changes that the house is going to experience, it would be coming now be made to convert the sun’s energy into usable power. Now this change is actually going to make East Austin’s Ronald McDonald House the very first one to be solar-powered.

Around a week back, Green Mountain Energy had already started putting in and mounting all the solar panels on the roof. The whole set of “homes” would them become the new abodes for those families who have children who are sick. All in all, the solar panels mounted on the Ronald McDonald House would be able to power an estimated 15 rooms.

People from the Ronald McDonald House are now saying that the whole project would perhaps be complete by November of this year. The infrastructure would hold 30 rooms which would become the temporary homes of those families who have children who are sick or who are undergoing treatment.
