At Buffalo Solar, we take pride in helping forward-thinking Western New York organizations harness clean energy to protect their bottom line while contributing to a healthier environment. Our recent work with Sevenson Environmental Services highlights how custom-engineered commercial solar solutions deliver massive operational benefits.
To support Sevenson's core goals, our team designed and installed a system built to mitigate rising electricity rates, maximize available tax and grant incentives, and deliver reliable, sustainable power performance for the next 25 years.
Here is an in-depth look at what this custom commercial project accomplishes.
Heavy-Duty Performance: System Specifications
To meet and exceed the energy requirements of Sevenson Environmental Services, our engineering team designed a massive commercial rooftop array utilizing premium technology:
- 169.20 kWDC total system size
- 288 Tier 1 Modules for maximum efficiency and durability
- 2 high-performance inverters for seamless power conversion
This high-capacity array does far more than lower overhead—it offsets an impressive 196% of the facility’s annual energy usage, turning their roof into a clean energy engine.
High-Impact Financial Savings
Energy cost volatility can be a major challenge for growing enterprises, making energy independence a valuable financial strategy. By generating renewable electricity on-site, Sevenson Environmental Services has secured long-term predictability with significant projected savings:
- $3,039 saved per month
- $36,471 saved annually
- $911,798 in total projected savings over 25 years
Environmental Impact & Community Benefits
Every custom solar project engineered by Buffalo Solar actively supports New York State’s ambitious Renewable Energy Portfolio standards to combat climate change. By transitioning to clean power, Sevenson Environmental Services achieves significant lifetime environmental milestones:
