(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- Millwest Amish Furniture has completed installation of 220 solar panels on its 12,000-square-foot warehouse, positioning the family-owned retailer to generate 118% of its total electricity needs through renewable energy.
The solar project, completed in late August through Paradise Energy Solutions, was made financially feasible through a USDA program offering a 50% cost reduction and a 30% federal tax rebate. The company found the installer through the Madison County Chamber of Commerce.
"We're grateful to the USDA and federal government for having this program, which makes it financially feasible for us to run a business and be ecologically responsible," said Keith Miller, owner of Millwest Amish Furniture. "Many of us are concerned about taking care of the environment but rarely know what we can do about it. This was our opportunity to take meaningful action."
The solar installation represents Millwest's latest step in a broader sustainability commitment that includes partnering with vendors practicing sustainable timber harvesting for indoor furniture and closed-loop recycling for outdoor furniture. The company's outdoor furniture line features products made from 95% recycled materials, primarily HDPE plastic lumber.
To maximize the benefit of on-site solar generation, Keith and his wife Rhoda purchased an electric vehicle for their daily commute.
"It feels great to know we are doing something beneficial without changing what we're doing on a day-to-day basis," Keith said. "Our customers value quality furniture built to last generations. That same long-term thinking applies to how we operate our business."
The 220-panel array generates clean electricity while reducing the company's carbon footprint and operating costs. By producing more electricity than the business consumes, Millwest can contribute excess power back to the grid.
