Solar Energy for a Family-Owned Business

Michigan Solar Solutions partnered with Jensen Bridge Supply Company, a family-owned building materials and supply business in Sandusky, Michigan, to install a 219 kW solar energy system. With nearly a century of operations behind it, the company recognized that managing energy expenses would be an important part of its long-term business strategy.

Investing in the Next 100 Years

For businesses with significant electricity expenses, solar offers an opportunity to offset energy use and better manage long-term operating costs. Jensen Bridge Supply Company made the switch to solar with the goal of reducing one of its largest utility expenses and supporting the company’s continued success for generations to come.

With an estimated first-year production of 251 MWh, the 219 kW system supports the company’s goal of managing energy costs and building on nearly 100 years of business.
