Take control of rising electricity costs

A car dealership is more than a showroom – it’s a show in itself. From running high-end equipment to lighting large parking lots, it requires significant energy consumption to impress customers and catalyze buying decisions. The average energy expense for a 13,000 square-foot dealership is $20,000 per year,* which is why many auto businesses are investing in solar.

With vast roofs and parking areas, dealerships are well-equipped to support solar projects and offset electricity costs.

* The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) found that the average electricity consumption of a car dealership was 10 kWh/SQFT, yearly. With the national average electricity cost being around $0.16/kWh, the approximate yearly energy expense for a 13,000 SQFT dealership becomes as much as $20,000.
