Crescent Parts & Equipment is an established, family-owned parts and equipment company in Marion, IL, that needed reliable and renewable energy to run its equipment and business. Rising energy costs pushed them to find a better long-term solution, and solar proved to be a perfect fit. 

The company partnered with Artisun Solar to install a 48-panel, 19.7 kW (DC) ground-mount solar system on their property. In addition to covering 100% of their annual energy needs, the system is projected to offset 433 metric tons of CO₂ emissions. 

This array is projected to save Crescent $3,098 within the first year and $138,771 in its lifetime with a payback period of less than 3 years.
