Magid Glove & Safety, a manufacturer, distributor, and importer of personal protective equipment, came to NECA contractor Continental Electrical Construction Company in regards to how they could help them lower their energy and consumption bills.

The new solar array is going to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 2 million tons a year. In addition, it’s the equivalent of taking 400,000 cars off the highway in one year. NECA/IBEW members agree not only is this a huge step in solar for the Midwest, but it’s also the future of energy.
