Client Success
Alan Spaulding and At Home Apartments had been monitoring the cost of solar for the last 8 years. Upon completion of their first project with IPS Solar, they decided to do 12 more.
Here at City Vue Apartments, the 145 kW array produces 25% of the building’s total electrical needs. Their total portfolio produces $66,000 a year creating a 25 year financial benefit of over $2 million.
“Our customers benefit, our staff benefits because they’re engaged in something they believe in, our investors get a good return on investment,” said Spaulding, “it is absolutely a win-win and I can’t think of any reason why you wouldn’t put solar on every rooftop.”
