Project Overview

  • Colite Technologies installed a 23.7 kW DC rooftop solar system for the Montana Health Center in Helena, MT.

  • The system produces approximately 32,567 kWh of electricity annually.

  • Montana Health Center is expected to save more than $2,400 in energy costs per year.

  • A standing seam clamping system securely attaches PV rails without compromising roof integrity.

  • The installation helps avoid 534 metric tons of CO₂ emissions, reducing the company’s environmental footprint.

  • CO₂ avoidance is equivalent to 1,342,245 miles driven in a passenger car or 590,308 pounds of coal burned.

  • The system uses high-performance, American-made PV panels with a 25-year production warranty.

  • The installation qualified for federal and state tax incentives and received a USDA REAP grant of over $16,000 to reduce project costs.

Save Money By Going Green With Solar Energy

Helps Montana Health Center Meet Their Sustainability Goals

The 23.7 kW solar system significantly reduces the facility’s carbon footprint, preventing 534 metric tons of CO₂ emissions. That’s the same as driving 1,342,245 miles in a passenger car or burning 590,308 pounds of coal.

Major Cost Savings on Power Bills

Montana Health Center’s solar project offsets 18% of the facility’s total power needs, delivering $2,400 in first-year savings. The installation offsets 55% of the facility’s total energy consumption.

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.

Clean, Renewable Energy

Renewable energy is one of the easiest ways to move towards a sustainable future. Solar energy is clean, long lasting, and helps us move away from dependence on fossil fuels.

Solar Energy is an Investment in the Future

By producing on-site solar energy your company will enjoy reduced monthly electric bills. All of our commercial solar systems are fully interconnected with the local power grid, meaning that your business will have uninterrupted power delivery, day or night.

Innovative, Non-Penetrative Racking Systems

Our commercial solar PV systems can be installed without the need for drilling holes – making it perfect for TPO membrane roofs. We also have non-penetrative installation options for standing seam metal roofs, and work with professional roofers to ensure all of our solar installations are leak free.

We Make Permitting and Tax Credits Easy

Most commercial solar PV installations require local permits and working with the utility company to arrange the power interconnect. Colite Technologies handles these details, making your transition to solar power easy. Additionally, we help you determine which governmental tax credits and benefits your system is eligible for and assist with the application process.
