A.C. Moore DC going solar

Moorestown, N.J. -- Pro-Tech Energy Solutions has been selected by A.C. Moore to install a 3.48MW rooftop solar installation.



The rooftop array will be installed on the A.C. Moore distribution warehouse and headquarters in Berlin, New Jersey. Part of a cost-saving and sustainable energy initiative, the rooftop array will cover approximately 432,000 sq. ft. and utilize string inverters to provide maximum control over energy supply.



Pro-Tech Energy Solutions will deliver a turnkey solution to A.C. Moore for the planning, design, development, management, installation and construction of its rooftop solar project. Paramount to the project’s success is Pro-Tech’s proven ability to complete the installation without delay or interruption to A.C. Moore’s day-to-day business. The project will commence this month and is expected to be completed in the fall.



A.C. Moore recognizes that by managing its own energy supply, it has the potential to reduce energy costs by as much as 50%. Additionally, the funds saved from self-generating power can go to support other A.C. Moore company directives.



“Being good stewards of the environment is a priority for our company and installing solar panels was an important step in the launch of A.C. Moore’s solar energy initiative,” said Pepe Piperno, CEO, A.C. Moore. “Leveraging solar energy is good business. It positively impacts the environment, while helping to maintain financial stability, so our company is able to deliver the best quality products, service and price to our customers.”
