The Challenge – Festiva Laundry, a busy laundromat located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, faced high electricity consumption concentrated within a compact space. The laundromat’s daily operations require substantial energy for washing and drying machines, causing high electricity usage and utility costs.
The Solution – Festiva Laundry partnered with Trifecta Solar to install a state-of-the-art 69 kW AC solar power system, offsetting almost half of their electric use and reducing environmental impact.
Financial Benefits – Financially, the project presents a compelling return on investment (ROI). With a discounted payback period of just over six years and a total ROI exceeding 600% over 30 years, Festiva Laundry’s investment exemplifies how solar energy can be a smart, sustainable business decision improving both long-term business viability and cost control.
Sustainability Impact – The system produces approximately 75,990 kWh annually, delivering consistent energy production that meets nearly half of the facility’s demand. Backed by a 25-year product and performance warranty, the solar array ensures long-term reliability and substantial cost savings.
By adopting solar power, Festiva Laundry not only cut their operating costs but also reinforced their
commitment to sustainability, setting a powerful example for other small businesses.
Technical Innovation – Trifecta Solar overcame common commercial rooftop challenges by using Solar Stack, an adhesive
mounting system that avoids roof penetrations, reduces leak risks, and allows for adaptable
installations. This lightweight solution protected the laundromat’s roof integrity while securely
supporting all 150 solar panels.

Festiva Laundry’s solar project delivers savings and sustainability, creating lasting value.
