K & J Chevrolet, located in Carlyle, IL, is a Chevrolet dealership and service provider with a 5-star reputation for customer service. Behind the scenes, keeping both the dealership and service department running efficiently is just as important.

To reduce operating costs and improve energy efficiency, Artisun Solar worked with them to install a rooftop solar system that would offset 100% of the facility’s electricity usage. It’s projected to save $15,911 in electricity costs within the first year and $693,826 over the 40+ year lifespan of the system.

The payback period for the installation is under a year, thanks in part to the federal solar tax credit, state and federal depreciation, and a USDA grant.
