The Step Guys Announces it has Installed Maine's Largest Utility-interfaced Solar Array Generation System
The Step Guys, a division of George R. Roberts Co., one of the region's leading suppliers of precast concrete products, today announced it has installed Maine's largest utility-interfaced solar array generation system
Arundel, Maine-based Solar Market installed the 110 KW system at The Step Guys' 20,000 sq. ft manufacturing facility on Biddeford Road in Alfred. The plant, which was built in the late 1950s, has a southeastern exposure and an almost perfect roof pitch for optimal capture of the sun's energy. Each solar panel measures 2 ½ feet by 5 ½ feet.
"This solar array generation system, and the financial package we received for the purchase of equipment, is extremely innovative and will cut our electricity costs by 10 percent," said Tim Cook, president of George R. Roberts Company and The Step Guys. "We're a manufacturing company that relies on heavily on electricity. To be able to source that energy from a green system, and save money, is a win for us and a win for the environment."
"The fact that we now have 100 percent of our energy needs met by solar generation is very exciting for our company," said Brian Brown, sales manager for The Step Guys division of George R Roberts Co. "Our customers are builders and homeowners. They love our products and have responded very favorably to the fact that they are manufactured in a green environment."
