Manufacturer Achieves Net-Zero Grid Usage with 2.4 MW Solar Installation
The rising cost of energy has forced many manufacturers to focus their sights on innovative ways to optimize energy consumption and improve operational efficiency in their manufacturing, product lines, distribution and administrative operations.
Despite the necessity for better energy management, most companies are still running their plants, warehouses and administrative offices from traditional energy sources that are non-renewable – and increasingly costly.
One equipment manufacturer that has made the move to renewable energy is OPEX Corp. The maker of high-speed mail handling, document management and warehouse automation systems has installed a 2.4 MW solar power system capable of producing more than 100% of the electricity needed to operate its 250,000 square-foot manufacturing, distribution and administrative complex located in Moorestown, N.J. OPEX is now a net-zero user of electricity.
Before switching its facilities to solar energy, OPEX had undertaken a number of initiatives to reduce its energy consumption and embrace sustainability.
