Featured Success Story

Boulder Nissan Leads the Charge to Solar Powered Dealerships

Working with Independent Power Systems (IPS), Boulder Nissan made the strategic decision to retrofit its lighting and install solar. The combined energy efficiency and solar project is expected to save the dealership nearly $400,000.

On average, auto dealers consume 18 percent more energy than a typical office building, facing nearly $2 billion in energy costs annually. What if you could eliminate that cost?
