National Bank of Arizona today announced plans to install a $2 million solar power system this summer at its Tucson headquarters at 335 N. Wilmot Road.

With a generating capacity of 402.6 kilowatts, the project will be the second largest corporate installation of photovoltaics in Tucson, the bank said. It will be installed by Scottsdale-based Natural Power and Energy.

The 24,000-square-foot installation of 1,320 panels will be placed on the roof of the parking garage that serves the bank headquarters and an adjacent building the bank leases.

The bank said the system will reduce electricity costs of the two buildings, which total 128,824 square feet, by about 25 percent and produce at least 580,000 kilowatt hours annually.

1. Whew.

I thought that meant they were going to start buying planets.

2. That was my impression also. Mexico wasn't far enough to send

the undocumented.

3. Oh good. After they're done wasting money on a stupid public relations scam, we can bail them out.
