Solar-Powered QSR Locations

Perch Energy has announced a new partnership with 31 McDonald's and Wendy's locations owned by Mike Allegro of All Star Management in Northern Illinois that will provide them with sustainable energy for the next 20 years. The partnership will see the various locations leveraging solar energy subscriptions that are estimated to save more than $20,000 each year for 20 years when it comes to electricity costs. This is thanks to sourcing power from local community solar farms situated in Pontiac and Rockford.

Allegro commented on the partnership with Perch Energy saying, "It was an easy decision. A lot of our restaurants are open early and close late. And some are open 24 hours a day, so we use a lot of electricity. Everything is more expensive these days, but while the cost of everything else is going up, it’s one bill that Perch and Solar On Earth are helping to bring back down.”
