Parkway Auto Group Adds Solar in Ohio

Parkway Auto Group installed solar arrays at its Honda dealership in Dover, Ohio. 

The solar arrays were installed by Freedom Solar Power, a residential and commercial solar power provider.

This solar initiative by Parkway Honda clears the way for future solar installments at Parkway dealerships as the company strives towards becoming 75% sustainable in the near future. 

Freedom Solar installed a 7,038 sq. ft. solar array that consists of 248 panels, producing 120.3 kilowatts (kW) of on-site power at Parkway Honda. Each year Parkway Honda will reduce their carbon footprint by over 91.9 metric tons of CO2 with their solar array. The solar array was recently completed in February.

"We couldn't be happier with our decision," said Parkway Honda's Partner, Mark C. Mears in a statement. "We are one of the first dealerships in the county to go solar and we are proud to be leading the way within Dover and Tuscarawas County. By diminishing our carbon footprint, we are achieving advantages never seen before rather than just reducing our electricity bill."
