Going Solar
Dairy Queen (1760 W Speedway Blvd) has gone solar!
Dairy Queen’s 93 kW solar energy system will generate enough clean energy to cover more than 90% of their operating needs while providing convenient shaded parking for employees and customers. Dairy Queen’s solar energy system will also provide power to two Enel X JuiceBox Pro electric vehicle chargers installed by TFS.
At 93 kW, Dairy Queen’s solar energy system will annually offset 334,000lbs of CO2 and save 75,000 gallons of water that would otherwise be consumed in the generation of fossil fuel energy.
Speaking to TFS, owner Don Gin expressed that both environmental and financial motives, strengthened by confidence in the positive regulatory and social environment for renewable energy and TFS’s production guarantee, influenced Dairy Queen’s decision to go solar.
A second solar energy system is in progress at Dairy Queen’s Irvington Road location.
Dairy Queen's Don Gin says:
“At the end of the day, our decision to go solar was based on economics. If other businesses are considering solar, I’d advise them to consider how the regulatory environment, as a positive environment, will move the project forward faster; as well as how the project will impact the business, customers, neighborhood, and employees. In Dairy Queen's case, the project demonstrates a commitment to improving the environment, the employees love it for the shade the structure provides.”
TFS’s Brooke Raque says:
"We are so excited that Dairy Queen has gone solar! Not only that, but they have taken their commitment to sustainability one step closer by installing electric vehicle chargers. We can't wait for Tucsonans to charge their cars in the shade while enjoying their treat of choice. We're hopeful that more businesses will follow in their footsteps by making solar powered EV chargers more accessible.”
