Midwestern auto dealership goes solar across multiple car dealerships in Minnesota and Wisconsin

Luther Auto is the largest privately owned automotive group in the Midwest. With expanding operations, the management team made a strategic decision to offset electricity costs and enhance the community-minded company’s sustainability efforts with solar installations on several of their Minneapolis/St. Paul dealerships.

Between 2012-2017, Luther Auto installed high-efficiency solar systems on 10 new or existing dealerships, for a combined system size of 454 kW.

Taking advantage of their dealerships’ large, flat roofs, Luther Auto saves more than $45,000 in energy costs annually with solar, plus additional savings through LED lighting upgrades. Over the next 25 years, Luther Auto is expected to save an estimated $2.1 million with solar.

“Solar just makes good business sense in today’s energy environment.”
