In a suburb of St. Louis is the headquarters for Carr Textile, which recently worked with Artisun Solar to add a 150kW-DC solar array to its building. They stock more than 3 million yards of fabric in more than 12 warehouse shipping points in the United States and abroad. In addition to their stock programs, they can do special dye lots to meet your color, hand, or finish specifications. Carr Textile’s finish capabilities include sanding, brushing, napping, sanforizing, DWR (durable water repellent), CRF (crease resistant finish), soil out, calendaring, washing, tumbling, silicone, etc.
The 150kW array was ballast mounted on their flat roof, which means there were no penetrations made to their roof, and it will save them over $14,000 on their utility bills.
