Ingersoll Rand’s Changzhou Facility in China Latest to Go Solar

Ingersoll Rand’s Power Tools & Lifting facility in Changzhou, China recently completed the implementation of solar energy. The extensive project included the installation of over 3,500 square-meters of solar panels that will provide approximately 40-50% of average annual energy consumption by the facility. The facility can now generate 0.85 million kWh every year, saving approximately $23,000 and reducing 700 tons of CO2 emissions annually. In addition to providing cost savings, solar energy not consumed in the planet will feed the country’s national electric grid to benefit other communities.
