Helluva Container, a leader in sustainable packaging, became the first business in Elk Point, South Dakota to invest in commercial solar energy. This landmark project includes a 36.9 kW rooftop solar system at their main office and an 85.5 kW solar array at their warehouse, helping Helluva Container reduce energy costs and their carbon footprint.
Financial and Environmental Impact
Thanks to generous solar tax credits and grants, Helluva Container achieved an impressive payback period as short as 0.9 years, significantly faster than the typical 2 to 7 years. This fast return on investment enables long-term financial savings and supports their commitment to sustainability.

Specializing in refurbishing and reselling used Gaylord boxes and packaging materials, Helluva Container’s solar energy adoption perfectly complements their eco-friendly business model.
