Arborjet installs solar panel energy system

Arborjet announced the installation of a 60-kilowatt photovoltaic solar energy system that will meet 100 percent of the company’s electricity needs.

 

The project was designed and installed by Astrum Solar, a national full-service solar provider headquartered in the eastern U.S. All of the panels were made in the U.S. This specification is particularly important to Arborjet as it continues to pursue LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) from the U.S. Green Building Council.

 

As part of its company strategy, Arborjet has installed reduced-use water fixtures, LED lighting, and streamlined its operations to replace less efficient processes, in addition to investing over $200,000 in the new solar energy system.

 

“We are strong believers in our responsibility to continue to reduce our carbon footprint. From the environmentally responsible products we produce, to the philanthropic efforts we put forth in our industry, and now our efforts to reduce the impact of our operations, Arborjet aims to lead the way when it comes to corporate responsibility,” says Russ Davis, President and Chief Operating Officer of Arborjet. “This happens not because someone thought it would be cool; it’s part of our strategic plan. It’s part of our DNA.”
