Problem
When Bill and Steve purchased the business they knew they had to do something about the looming electric bills of an average of $18,000 per year. With growth and expansion in mind, they wanted to put that money towards other avenues such as marketing and advertising.
Solution
Green Power Energy installed a high efficiency SunPower solar system that offset the company’s everyday energy costs. By removing the cost of electricity, it allowed the team to focus on business development and expansion.
Result
R&H took advantage of the 30% solar tax credit ITC and created an additional source of revenue from their SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Certificates). Between the electric savings and the incentives, they recuperated 50% of their solar investment in year one alone!
Overall Solar Experience
“Right away, solar was one of the things we knew we wanted to do. What Steve and I do every day is find ways to cut overhead.”
