Raw materials supplier Active Concepts has reinforced its commitment to sustainability and local environmental issues having completed the conversion of its Lincolnton, North Carolina facility to Solar Power.

The company announced that the installation would take place, late last year, and work has been completed as scheduled.

 

Now up-and-running, the company says the solar array will generate enough energy to power its facility and provide enough surplus energy that by selling it back to the local power company, it will be able to recoup its investment within 4-5 years.

 

“The real payback comes in the significant reduction in our carbon footprint; the surplus energy provided to the grid helps the community lower their carbon footprint,” said a company statement.
