We're always committed to giving our customers more at MacSales.com, and that extends beyond our business into the community. We take environmental stewardship very seriously, constantly striving to improve our environmental footprint and working towards 100% sustainability.

Significant efforts in on-site renewable energy, including our solar arrays in Austin, Texas and Woodstock, IL locations and our wind-turbine in Woodstock, make MacSales.com a net energy producer, operating on renewable power and delivering surplus energy back to the grid. In March 2010, MacSales.com corporate campus was designated LEED^® Platinum by the Green Building Certification Institute.

815,000 kWh Installed in 2009, our 194-foot-tall, Vestas V39 wind turbine generates about 815,000 kWh of electricity per year.

325,000 kWh Our solar array in Woodstock, IL generates 265,000 kWh of energy per year, and our Austin, Texas array produces 60,000 kWh.

On-Site Power Generation

We generate power at our Woodstock, IL campus both through solar generation with our 20,000 square foot rooftop solar array, as well as a 500kWh rated Vestas wind turbine. We produce so much energy that it offsets all of the energy that we consume in all three of our facilities in three states.

With wind and solar power generation combined with extreme energy efficiency in all of our locations, we are a total net producer of renewable energy — as our energy production surpasses our year-on-year energy requirements. Not only does this allow us to operate an environmentally sustainable business, it also allows us to do so with a high return on investment in power generation
