July 11, 2024Comments
Following its move into a new, energy-efficient facility and investing in state-of-the-art equipment, Sheet Metal Supply (SMS), Grayslake, IL, has flipped the switch to operating 100% on solar power. Verde Solutions, a full-service energy company serving all of the United States, designed and installed a roof-mounted solar array for SMS with a power rating of 159.81 kW-DC. Throughout its projected 30-yr. lifespan, the system is expected to produce 5,780,505 kWh, equivalent to CO2 emissions from 459,865 gal of gasoline consumed; greenhouse
gases from 883 passenger vehicles driven for one yr.; or carbon sequestered
from 68,113 tree seedings grown for 10 yr.
“The transition to lowering carbon emissions and minimizing our carbon footprint was a conscious decision dedicated to investing responsibly in our future as well as the future of our customers,” says SMS president Ben Kweton.
