A new solar energy and battery storage system at the Boys & Girls Club of South County in Imperial Beach will save $12,000 in its first year and half a million over 30 years. - The project was funded by San Diego Community Power and led by Hammond Climate Solutions Foundation.

- Youth members learned about solar energy and its benefits for the environment and the club. - Savings will be reinvested into club programs, and future clean energy projects are being explored.

The celebration offered a positive contrast to the community's ongoing sewage crisis.
