38.88 kW Commercial Installation in Murphysboro, IL
Grither Body & Paint has been Murphysboro’s go-to collision and restoration shop for decades — and now they’re running on the power of the sun.
This 38.88 kW ground-mounted array, featuring 74 NE Solar 540W panels, sits on the shop’s property and is projected to generate 50,029 kWh in year one and over 1.16 million kWh across 25 years.
With energy-intensive operations like spray booths, compressors, and frame equipment running daily, the offset of 1,110 tons of CO2 over the array’s lifetime represents meaningful savings — both for the environment and the bottom line.
