The Challenge
Implement Solar During Building Construction
As Allied Beverage Group prepared to open its new headquarters in Elizabeth, New Jersey, the company faced the challenge of integrating a large-scale solar solution into a facility still under construction. With high energy demands and a commitment to sustainability, Allied needed a partner who could coordinate closely with ongoing building work to ensure the solar installation was completed efficiently and on schedule. The goal was to maximize onsite clean energy generation, reduce long-term electricity costs, and establish the new headquarters as one of the most energy-efficient distribution centers in the state.
