The Value of Green Marketing
A solar system represents a strong commitment to sustainability and most of our commercial clients want to share this with their customers. And their customers respond - with nearly all reporting increases in business thanks to their green marketing endeavors.
Here are a few examples:
Maple Hill Farm and Conference Center
The Maple Hill Farm and Conference Center uses a combined solar hot water and solar electric system to reduce annual CO2 emissions by more than 40,000 pounds.
Owner Scott Cowger estimates that 20 percent of his customers choose Maple Hill Farm because of the inn's green practices. Maple Hill Farm received Maine's first "Environmental Leader" Green Lodging Inn Certification in 2005.

After making several weatherization improvements to their building, the owners of NEWAIM Fiber Mill in Waldoboro, Maine, focused on reducing fossil fuels used for hot water heating. The result was a 90 tube solar hot water system that acts to preheat the water that enters their propane fired water heater.

Scratch Bakery - South Portland, Maine
Scratch Bakery is a prominent fixture in their neighborhood of South Portland, occupying Willard Square. They see their solar hot water system as a statement to the community.
