Dramm is practicing what it preaches on energy savings

The Dramm Corporation recently completed the installation of 286 solar panels at its new headquarters in Manitowoc, WI. The 18,000 square-foot ground-mount solar panels produce an annual energy savings of 161,990 kilowatts.

"Dramm Corporation is very excited to include a large solar photovoltaic (PV) array on the site of our new facility," says Hans Dramm, President of Dramm. "We are committed to being a good steward of ecological conservation. The roots of our business are planted in the goal of conserving water for the horticulture industry. The addition of solar PV enhances our long-term commitment to saving energy and being environmentally conscious. We expect the array to provide at least 90% of our annual energy needs with options for future growth. The panels are dual-sided, which adds to their efficiency by allowing for the collection of photovoltaic energy refracting from the ground and collected from direct contact."

Dramm worked with several local contractors on the project: Arch Solar, Abacus Architects, A.C.E. Building Service, and Check Electric.
