Martin’s Auto Service

Commercial

At Martin’s Auto Service in Anna, Illinois, reliability matters. The shop runs year-round, with equipment and lighting that demand consistent power throughout the day.

To reduce overhead and protect against rising utility costs, Martin’s partnered with Artisun Solar to install a 184-panel rooftop system. The 75.9 kW DC array now supplies the majority of the facility’s electricity needs across both shop and office spaces.

The system generated $8,113 in savings during its first year. Over the lifetime of the system, projected savings total $363,437, with payback reached in less than 4 years.

I had this idea that there was going to be even more headaches dealing with the details of getting everything up and running. It was amazing to me how turnkey it was and how stress-free it really was. The products got delivered, they took care of getting the machinery here and getting everything installed, and it was just very stress-free. The whole process was great.
