Mastria Auto Group

Mastria Auto Group is a family-owned dealership in Taunton, MA, representing the Buick GMC Cadillac, Nissan, Subaru and Mazda brands. The company has been in business for more than 60 years.

Challenge

The company was faced with rising electricity costs, even through the municipal utility in the town of Raynham. It had installed LED lighting and high-performance garage doors to reduce costs. At the same time, Mastria realized it had a valuable asset in its roofs, and wanted to explore its options.

Solution

Mastria Auto Group partnered with Solect Energy to install systems at its Buick GMC Cadillac, Nissan and Subaru dealerships. A fourth dealership—Mazda—needed improvements to its roof, so Mastria deferred the project.

Results

30% reduction of electricity costs

The systems cover up to 30 percent of the auto group’s electricity costs annually, saving the company up to $40,000 each year. With the Mazda dealership completed, the company saves an additional $10,000 per year in electricity costs. In addition, Mastria will generate significant additional revenue annually through the SREC program.
