Haug Professional Building
The combined power output of this 4-array solar system adds up to 50 kW, and will supply 100% of the electricity usage of this Bozeman commercial office building. We completed the installation in August, 2017.

Client Profile
The owner of the Haug Professional Building came to OnSite Energy in the winter of 2017, interested to see the how the numbers penciled out for solar as a corporate financial investment. What he found was that by installing this 50 kW solar system, he could save between $100,000-$200,000 over it's 25-year life! As a farmer by trade and an overall conservationist, the added benefit of avoiding the equivalent carbon dioxide emissions from 1,230,645 pounds of burned coal over 25 years made the opportunity too good to be true.
Case Study
The main challenges of this project were simply to adopt a practical, yet efficient design to the multiple roof surfaces of the building, while designing around a market-disruptive inverter system that looks and feels like a micro inverter, but behaves like a conventional string inverter!&
Typically a solar array that faces east or west produces about 20% less energy per kiloWatt installed than it would if it were facing south, but with that in account we were still able to install a system capable of zeroing out the electricity bill there.
