Consulting with AGE, NOTS Logistics evaluated energy usage across each warehouse, identifying opportunities not only to manage supply rates but to reduce overall consumption. Solar emerged as a practical solution to offset rising electrical needs while leveraging available state and federal incentives. As a trusted commercial solar installer in Illinois and Missouri, the chose StraightUp Solar to design and install solar arrays across several warehouse rooftops, delivering a cohesive, multi-facility solar solution.
