Client Profile

In partnership with Saroc Energy, we were excited to develop, design and build this project for Missoula County and to help them towards their goal of carbon neutrality.

Case Study

With a large flat roof and the highest energy demand of any county building, the detention center was a good candidate for a large scale non-export solar array. At 432 kW, it is currently the largest rooftop solar system in the state and estimated to produce 475,189 kWh/year, offsetting approximately 20% of the facility's electricity use. Over its 25 year lifespan the system is estimated to save the county $400,000 in energy costs.
