By: Devin O'Toole With 31 employees, a fleet of ten delivery vehicles, one service truck, two showrooms and a large market area, the Prest-O-Sales & Service mission is described as “providing customers with productivity- In December 2010, Prest-O-Sales installed a 24-kilowatt solar energy system on its roof. At full output, the system provides half of the peak load. A large portion of utility costs consists of the demand charge for the maximum amount of power projected for use. The panels have a 20-year useful life, and Madison expects to see the return on his investment in about nine years. During the three months of summer 2011, the company used less than half the kilowatt hours used in a comparable period in 2009-2010. With savings averaging $600 per month, Prest-O-Sales is also contributing back to the power grid with any unused energy it produces.
