Closer to the Sun.

Earth Day is six days out, and I’m excited to host an educational event at our brewery to showcase renewable energy. With my business partners, we installed a 24.09 kWh solar array that generates about 80% of our annual power need. Utilizing state and federal programs, we were also able to essentially install the array for forty-five cents on the dollar. That means our payoff from our array is now only 8 years. Without the incentives, our array would take 10-12 years for payoff.

I was fortunate enough to join Katie at the Ord Area Chamber of Commerce to record a podcast where I discuss our experience with the array. Have a listen here, and let me know what you think. If we choose to do so as business owners, we can make a difference in this world without infringing on our ability to make profits. Cheers!
