Correlate Energy Corp. is proud to announce the successful completion and operation of one of Illinois’ largest rooftop solar power facilities. Located at Continental Envelope’s manufacturing plant in Geneva, Illinois, this project is a testament to the growing adoption of renewable energy in the state.
Continental Envelope, a long-standing manufacturer of commercial envelopes, recognized the need for sustainable energy solutions to reduce their environmental impact while maintaining operational efficiency. Collaborating with Correlate Energy Corp., they embarked on a rooftop solar project in April 2022, which has now reached commercial operation.
The solar facility has been seamlessly integrated into Continental Envelope’s printing facility, which has been in operation for over 80 years. With an impressive annual production of 2 billion envelopes, the facility’s energy requirements are substantial. The commissioned solar project will supply approximately 20%-25% of the facility’s energy needs, providing a reliable and cost-effective source of power for years to come.
Aside from the economic benefits of utilizing clean energy, this solar system also contributes to Continental Envelope’s environmental sustainability goals. Based on calculations by the Environmental Protection Agency, it is estimated that the 908-kW solar project will offset approximately 18,849 tons of carbon dioxide over the next 20 years. This reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is equivalent to removing 42 million car miles from the road or planting 282,000 trees.
Correlate Energy Corp. takes pride in supporting businesses like Continental Envelope that prioritize environmental responsibility without sacrificing efficiency or profitability. By financing, developing, and implementing localized clean energy solutions, Correlate Energy Corp. is at the forefront of America’s decentralized energy generation trend.
