Helluva Container

Commercial

Helluva Container, a leader in sustainable packaging, became the first business in Elk Point, South Dakota to go solar.

Their system includes solar on both their office and warehouse:

A 36.9 kW system on the office rooftop
An 85.5 kW system on the warehouse

Together, these systems help power nearly all of their operations, lowering electricity costs and reducing their environmental impact.

Why It Made Sense Financially

With the help of tax credits and grants, Helluva Container was able to significantly reduce the upfront cost of going solar.

As a result, their system is expected to pay for itself in about 1.7 years. After that, the energy their system produces translates directly into long-term savings.

Supporting Their Sustainability Goals

Helluva Container focuses on reusing and reselling packaging materials, helping reduce waste across industries.

Switching to solar was a natural next step. It allows them to:

Lower their reliance on traditional energy sources
Reduce their carbon footprint
Strengthen their commitment to sustainability
