Barker Specialty is an innovative, family-owned promotional marketing agency with over 70 years of experience helping customers tell their brand stories. Inspired by their commitment to reducing their carbon footprint, Barker leveraged solar power to save energy at their 6,000-square-foot showroom and headquarters in Cheshire, CT. They had such a positive experience working with the Green Bank and using C-PACE to finance their first rooftop solar photovoltaic system that they used it for a second solar project two years later. The projected total energy savings is more than $1.5 million over the 25-year effective useful life of the panels.
Customer Story
