Bliffert Lumber & Hardware has always been deeply committed to our local community’s quality of life, and we are excited to invest in a solar solution that benefits the health of our environment and our community. We are proud to invest in solar, a solution that is innovative and forward-looking in addition to saving costs, and hope we can inspire others in the industry and the community to follow our lead. Arch Solar has been a fantastic partner in helping us realize this vision, and we are looking forward to more projects at our other locations.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Arch Solar designed a custom solar solution for the Wisconsin climate for Bliffert’s Riverwest location. The solar array consists of 114 Bifacial LONGi solar panels, 57 SolarEdge P960 optimizers, and a 43kW SolarEdge inverter. The custom racking system, design by TerraGen of Ontario, Canada will optimize winter production with low sun angles and snow-covered panels. With an installation occurring in the month of January, this is truly a winter-ready system. The array (50.7kW-DC) will offset 54.67% of Bliffert's electrical consumption with an estimated annual savings of $10,329 / 63,648 kWh produced by solar annually.
“Anyone in construction knows that reducing the environmental impact of the industry is a heavy burden to shoulder. Bliffert’s commitment to reduce their carbon footprint and set an example for the community has been a motivating journey. For anyone looking to reduce their own environmental footprint, choosing Bliffert Lumber is your go to hardware store or lumber yard.” Andrew Holmstrom, Arch Solar.
