Going Off The Grid Part 1 - Wind & Solar Powered Lights

Something's in the Wind at Roy O'Brien!

 

Roy O'Brien Ford is starting to go "Off The Grid" and become the first dealership to become energy independent and self-sufficient. A couple weeks ago we installed three (3) wind / turbine & solar powered lights in our parking lot off Nine Mile Rd.

  • Completely "Off the Grid"

This is just the start of our efforts to go green and become completely energy independent. Stay tuned for more news on our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint and get "Off the Grid."
