Calculate your carbon footprint at this web site
EPA Calculator - CLICK HERE


Shocked? So were we. We have taken the first step and our first solar system will save over 900,000 pounds of C02 over its expected lifetime. Donating just 1/3 of a cent for every pound of C02 you personally emit will allow you to essentially clear your current carbon footprint. This value was found by dividing the cost of the system by its estimated C02 savings.


To find the donation amount that would offset your carbon emissions this year, simply divide the pounds of C02 you emit by 300.

To donate directly send donations to:
Mayo Booster Club - Olmsted County Solar Initiative Fund
c/o Mayo High School
1420 11th Ave. SE
Rochester, MN 55904


Want solar panels at your school?
The Olmsted County Solar Initiative has already paid for a $46,000 system at Mayo High School and has almost $82,000 to support three more solar projects ($26,500 each). To obtain this funding, your school must raise $10,000 in direct donations, business sponsorships, and grants. This funding must be raised within the next three years, but we could award the $26,500 as soon as next month to begin design and installation. Contact us for more information at ocsolar@gmail.com.
