Here Comes the Sun

Lithographix’s solar system is fairly new, having gone live in December of 2008, and generates about 25 percent of the company’s needs (so to speak, since the power is sent back to the grid). One of the nicest aspects for the printer is the system’s hands-free operability.

“The power goes to these inverters and right back to the grid,” Wolden says. “It’s transparent to us; it just shows up on our electric bills as a credit. Honestly, I haven’t seen any issues with it.”
