Paxton Hardware and Rental Invests in Solar “Hardware” for Their Business
This hardware store was smart to install some impressive solar “hardware” on the rooftop of their business. This 115.7 kW solar system puts 362 REC320 all-black panels and 2 SMA Sunny Tripower Inverters to work offsetting the energy usage of their store! Over 25 years they are likely to save $397,388 on their electric bills and pay the system off in 3.6 years. Solar incentives used to help make this project possible include Federal Investment Tax Credit, MACRS capital tax depreciation, and Illinois state Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs).
In addition to the solar system, did you notice the wind turbines in the distance at the end of the video? Transitioning to clean energy is important for homeowners and businesses, improving the health of our communities while demonstrating leadership in sustainability.
The Paxton Hardware and Rental array will offset 2439 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions over 25 years! This is equivalent to about 6 million miles driven by an average passenger car, 2.6 million pounds of coal burned, or carbon sequestered by 2,988 acres of US forests in one year.
