The Dramm Corporation completed the installation of 286 solar panels at the new headquarters in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The 18,000 sq. ft. ground-mount solar panels produce an annual energy savings of 161,990 kilowatts.
"Dramm Corporation is very excited to include a large solar photovoltaic (PV) array on the site of our new facility," Hans Dramm, president of Dramm, said. "The addition of solar PV enhances our long-term commitment to saving energy and being environmentally conscious. We expect the array to provide at least 90% of our annual energy needs with options for future growth."
Dramm is grateful for the insight and guidance of all its local contractors aiding in the project: Arch Solar, Abacus Architects, A.C.E. Building Service and Check Electric.
The new Dramm headquarters, located in the Manitowoc Industrial Park, began construction in May 2021. The warehouse is complete, and the office building is currently being built. Completion is scheduled for the late summer of 2022.
