Correlate Energy Powers Sustainable Growth: Illinois' Largest Rooftop Solar Project Illuminates Continental Envelope's Green Vision

Correlate Energy Corp. CIPI announced the commissioning and successful construction of one of Illinois’ largest rooftop solar power facilities at Continental Envelope’s manufacturing plant in Geneva, Illinois. Watch the client testimonial video here.

Continental Envelope, a pioneering independent manufacturer of commercial envelopes since the 1930s, boasts an esteemed clientele that includes well-known companies in the finance, telecommunications, and entertainment industries.

The rooftop solar project, initiated in April 2022, has now reached commercial operation, with the engineering, permitting, and interconnection work completed. This clean energy system has been seamlessly integrated into Continental Envelopes 84-year-old printing facility, which produces an impressive 2 billion envelopes annually.

The commissioned solar project is now fully operational, and it will supply approximately 20%-25% of the facility’s overall energy requirements. By providing low-cost, fixed-priced energy for decades to come, this solar system ensures energy stability and promotes environmental sustainability.

Based on the Environmental Protection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator, the 908-kW solar project is estimated to offset approximately 18,849 tons of carbon dioxide over the next 20 years. This reduction is equivalent to removing 42 million car miles from the road or planting 282,000 trees.

Elan Margulies, Project Manager of Continental Envelope, remarked, “Our electrical costs increased 600% since moving in which made us interested in solar for an eco-friendly solution to our electric costs. Collaborating with Correlate, we analyzed and found this project made economic sense.”

Correlate Energy takes immense pride in contributing to the realization of Continental Envelope’s green vision and remains committed to supporting businesses that prioritize environmental responsibility without compromising efficiency or profitability.
