Mossy Nissan Chula Vista, a prominent auto dealership in the region, has collaborated with SolarTech, a leading solar provider, to tackle rising energy costs and enhance sustainability efforts. Facing challenges posed by escalating energy expenses from San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE), Mossy Nissan sought a tailored solar solution to mitigate operational costs and capitalize on available tax incentives.
In response, SolarTech designed and implemented a comprehensive solar solution for Mossy Nissan Chula Vista, comprising rooftop panels and solar carports. The initiative aims to achieve 100% offset in annual electrical usage, while also providing shade and protection for the dealership’s extensive vehicle inventory to minimize sun and weather exposure.
Peter Mossy, President of Mossy Automotive Group, expressed satisfaction with the partnership, highlighting its multifaceted benefits. “Partnering with SolarTech on this solar project was a triple win for us,” stated Mossy. “We’re saving money on energy, protecting our valuable inventory, and taking a meaningful step towards a more sustainable future. This investment aligns perfectly with our values and our customers’ expectations.”
Despite potential challenges in the permitting process for large-scale solar installations, SolarTech’s expertise in navigating local regulations ensured timely approvals and minimal delays. In fact, the installation was completed 25% faster than anticipated, minimizing disruption to Mossy’s sales operations and customer experience.
The installation of a 391kW solar system with 990 panels resulted in significant cost savings for Mossy Nissan, with $98,713 saved on their electric bill in the first year alone. Considering a conservative 5% year-over-year utility rate increase, the projected lifetime electric bill savings for this system are estimated to exceed $6 million, underscoring the long-term financial and environmental benefits of the initiative.
