105.3 kW Commercial Install on Illinois Automotive Shop

K&J Automotive

K&J Automotive — the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram service and parts center serving Breese and the surrounding Clinton County area — now powers its dealership with a 105.3 kW rooftop solar system.

The 195-panel ZNShine Solar array is projected to generate 129,400 kWh in year one and over 3 million kWh over its 25-year life. That’s 2,871 tons of CO2 offset — the equivalent of eliminating nearly 293,000 gallons of gas from the atmosphere.

For a dealership that services vehicles known for performance and dependability, it’s only fitting that their energy source delivers both.
