Champion Precast, a leading precast concrete supplier in the Midwest, made a strategic investment in solar energy by installing a custom 209.78 kW (DC) rooftop system at their facility in Troy, MO. Working with Artisun Solar, they took advantage of the Federal ITC, utility rebates, and state and federal depreciation to maximize savings. The installation was completed without disrupting daily operations, allowing business to continue seamlessly.
In its first year, the system saved over $30,000, 36% more than originally projected. Over its lifetime, the solar array is expected to deliver nearly $1 million in savings. What was initially forecasted as a five-year cost recovery period was accelerated to just under two years, demonstrating the substantial financial impact of this project.
