Save Money By Going Green With Solar Energy
Helps Coca-Cola Bottling Meet Their Sustainability Goals
With 121 kW of power generation, the system significantly reduces the facility’s carbon footprint, preventing 2,636 metric tons of CO₂ emissions. That’s the same as driving 6,712,731 miles in a passenger car or burning 2,928,108 pounds of coal.
Major Cost Savings on Power Bills
Coca-Cola Bottling’s solar installation project offsets 82% of the facility’s total power needs, delivering $26,740 in first-year savings; as energy costs rise, annual savings will likely increase. The project’s $163,050 in incentives helped accelerate the return on investment.
