Bank of Franklin County is a locally-owned, independent community bank chartered in 2000. The bank operates out of its home base in Washington, Missouri. For a financial institution committed to investing in its community, those operating costs are a real line item. A solar installation gave the bank a way to control those unpredictable costs.
Bank of Franklin County worked with Artisun Solar to install a 135-panel (50 kW) rooftop solar array at their Washington, Missouri location.
The system saves the Bank of Franklin County $6,021 annually in electricity costs and is projected to save $43,006 over solar’s 40+ year lifetime.
By taking advantage of several key financial incentives, the bank maximized its return on investment and achieved a payback period of under one year.
