Wright of Thomasville Will Use Solar Energy to Power North Carolina Facility

Wright of Thomasville is nearing the completion of installing solar panels at the company headquarters. This makes the company one of the first in the industry to rely on sunlight to power its key production center. Wright anticipates the installation will be completed within the next 30 days.

Before “going green” became trendy, Wright of Thomasville had adopted eco-friendly policies, using recycled products, renewable soybean ink, and energy efficient lighting, among other things.

“Our company has always been committed to environmental stewardship be it through the inks we use or the recycling of production materials. We are now happy to add energy conservation to this list,” said Wright President and CEO, Greg Wright. “The decision to install solar panels seemed like a natural progression in reducing our carbon footprint and advancing our environmental mission.”

In addition to state and federal tax incentives, the panels, which are connected directly to the grid at Duke Energy, will improve energy efficiency at the facility and eliminate Wright’s electric bill. With 364 solar panels, the company expects to generate 83.72 kilowatts from the solar array, which Duke will credit back to Wright.

To illustrate their use of power, Wright of Thomasville will feature a power generating meter on their website as well as in the facility’s main lobby.
