Reduce Energy Costs in a High-Volume Distribution Center
As a major wholesale distributor operating a large distribution center in Cheshire, Connecticut, Bozzuto’s faced the challenge of managing substantial energy costs while maintaining efficient, reliable service for its customers nationwide. The company needed a solution that would offset a significant portion of its onsite electricity consumption, reduce operational expenses, and align with its commitment to sustainability — all without disrupting day-to-day operations or requiring major changes to its facility.

INCENTIVES
CT Zero Emissions Renewable Energy Credit (ZREC) Program • Investment Tax Credit
PowerFlex partnered with Bozzuto’s to design and install a 1.3-megawatt (MW) roof-mounted solar energy system at the company’s Connecticut distribution center. The fully ballasted system, featuring more than 4,200 high-efficiency modules, was engineered to maximize solar generation without any roof-penetrating attachments. By leveraging both federal and state incentives — including the Connecticut ZREC Program, a 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), and accelerated depreciation — Bozzuto’s was able to secure significant financial returns and predictable long-term savings. The solar installation now offsets a substantial portion of the facility’s energy use, delivering environmental benefits equivalent to taking 227 cars off the road each year or planting nearly 28,000 trees, while supporting Bozzuto’s commitment to sustainability and operational excellence.
