Commercial Solar Case Study:
Sportsman Boats
Colite Technologies designed and installed a 661-kW solar PV system with 60 kWh of battery energy storage for Sportsman Boats. The system offsets 48% of the facility’s annual energy use while delivering an estimated $188,000 in first-year savings. Over its lifetime, the project will avoid 13,993 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions and received over $1.55 million in renewable energy incentives, including a $750,000 USDA REAP Grant.
Colite Technologies installed a 661-kW solar PV system with 60 kWh of battery energy storage for Sportsman Boats, saving $188,000 in the first year and offsetting 48% of annual energy use.

Save Money By Going Green With Solar Energy
Helps Sportsman Boats Meet Their Sustainability Goals
The 661-kW solar system significantly reduces the facility’s carbon footprint, preventing 13,993 metric tons of CO₂ emissions. That’s the same as driving 35,634,008 miles in a passenger car or burning 15,543,633 pounds of coal.
Major Cost Savings on Power Bills
Sportsman Boat’s solar project offsets 48% of the facility’s total power needs, delivering $188,000 in first-year savings.
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.
