With their large, flat roofs and as large consumers of electricity, automotive dealerships are an excellent fit for solar technology. As the cost of electricity rises, and electrical demands increase thanks to more EV charging happening on-site, deploying solar panels onto dealership rooftops can significantly reduce how much energy our stores have to draw from the grid.
Working with FreedomSolar, a leader in the industry, LAD has completed a detailed analysis of the energy needs of each of its stores, and the effect that solar can have on each store’s energy consumption and therefore its carbon emissions. As a result, LAD will be exploring new ways to reduce our carbon impact in the near future.
