Auto Dealerships drive cost savings

According to the National Auto Dealers Association, on average auto dealerships use more energy than a typical office building per square foot. Between the showroom and parking lot lights, and service center equipment, electricity costs can severely erode your bottom line.

Auto dealerships across California use solar and energy storage to significantly reduce utility bills, protect against utility rate increases and protect against power shutdowns. When you own your own power-generating assets, you can protect your margin from future cost increases and can add storage for business resiliency so you can operate during power outages.

As EVs become a larger portion of your fleet, your electricity costs will increase. Now, make your move with solar to reduce your overhead electricity costs and prepare for increased demand from EV chargers on your bottomline!

  • Reduce energy costs and protect your margins
  • Provide solar power for upcoming EV product lines
  • Create resilience from PG&E Public Service Power Shutdowns
  • Install now for 30% federal tax credit and accelerated depreciation for increased ROI
  • Reduce your carbon footprint
  • Increased commercial property value
  • Rely on decades of savings with 25-year equipment warranties

 

Show a Commitment to Solar Energy

Auto dealerships that can effectively reduce their energy consumption can qualify for NADA’s Energy Stewardship Initiative. This four-step energy efficiency program is run in partnership with ENERGY STAR, and encourages car dealerships to reduce their energy consumption by a minimum of 10% to reduce their impact on the environment and save in energy costs. Companies who participate in the program receive recognition from both ENERGY STAR and NADA. This certification may be appealing to energy-conscious consumers who are looking to support a local auto dealership that is committed to the environment.
