Commercial Solar Case Study:
Hampton Inn & Suites
Colite Technologies designed and installed a 72 kW rooftop solar system for Hampton Inn & Suites in Weatherford, TX. The system offsets approximately 18% of the hotel’s annual energy use, delivers over $6,000 in annual energy savings, and avoids 1,979 metric tons of CO₂ emissions over its 25-year lifespan, equivalent to driving 4,911,963 miles in a typical passenger vehicle or burning 2,189,440 pounds of coal.
Colite Technologies installed a 72 kW rooftop solar system for Hampton Inn & Suites in Weatherford TX, saving $6,000 in the first year and offsetting 18% of annual energy use. It also avoids 1,979 metric tons of CO₂.

Save Money By Going Green With Solar Energy
Helps Hampton Inn & Suites Meet Their Sustainability Goals
The 72 kW solar system significantly reduces the facility’s carbon footprint, preventing 1,979 metric tons of CO₂ emissions. That’s the same as driving 4,911,963 miles in a passenger car or burning 2,189,440 pounds of coal.
Major Cost Savings on Power Bills
Hampton Inn’s solar project offsets 18% of the facility’s total power needs, delivering $6,000 in first-year savings. The system’s 30% in federal renewable energy tax incentives helped improve the project’s return on investment and accelerate the payback period.
Long Lasting American Made Photovoltaic Panels
High-performance solar panels ensure long-term energy generation. Onsite, real-time monitoring enables easy tracking of power production and rapid troubleshooting if necessary.
Leak-Proof Rooftop Solar PV System Installation
Using non-penetrative racking, the system was installed without compromising the integrity of the existing roof, preserving warranties and ensuring durability.
