As economic uncertainty continues to complicate life for small American businesses, company leaders need every advantage they can get to cope with rampant inflation and the soaring cost of energy. With their recent transition to PV solar energy, three Oklahoma small businesses were able to instantly reduce energy costs and significantly improve their bottom lines.
4T’s Family Market is a grocery store that serves the community of Hennessy, Oklahoma. Their new 150.0kW solar array is projected to save the independent grocer over $17,000 in just one year and over $750,000 over the lifetime of the system. Based in Jay, Oklahoma, the 34kW solar system that Lindly’s Hardware recently purchased is slated to save the company nearly $205,000 in electricity costs within the next 25 years. And the 46kW system that the building supply company Boehs recently installed at their Helena, Oklahoma location is estimated to save its small business almost $310,000 throughout the lifetime of its new solar array. Artisun Solar designed and installed all three systems.
Transitioning to solar delivers significant financial benefits in the short and long-term, with positive impacts seen from the first reduced electric bill that accrue for decades. It’s a decision that can also raise property values and help companies meet and exceed their sustainability goals. And with generous tax and grant incentives, it’s a strategic business decision in which some companies see ROIs within just two years.
