McElroy Metal Adds Solar Panels to California Manufacturing Plant
Because you can never save too much, McElroy Metal has added solar panels to a second manufacturing facility that will more than offset the plant’s electrical usage and show a return on investment in approximately three years.
Almost five years ago, McElroy reroofed its manufacturing facility in Peachtree City, Ga., and topped the standing seam roofing with 1,960 solar panels. The 238T symmetrical standing seam roofing system with the half megawatt solar system was installed on top of a 34-year-old galvanized R-panel roofing system. The energy generated on the Peachtree City facility surpasses the plant’s energy consumption, saving McElroy Metal thousands of dollars.
