The environmental benefits of going solar are clear, but for car washes, the move to solar is equally important for business and the planet.
Car washes have three major costs: energy, rent and water. Solar panels can help car wash proprietors reduce energy costs, protect against rising electricity prices, and give greater control over power bills.
The flat rooftops of car washes made these buildings ideal candidates for solar panels, and Energy Matters’ experience with these structures ensured only the highest-quality, best-performing systems were installed.
Prowash at Hollywood Plaza in Salisbury, South Australia, made the switch to solar and installed a 21.5kW solar panel system comprising 86 REC solar panels, 2 SMA inverters, and a SunLock mounting system.
