Driving Sustainability at Thelen Auto Group
Renewable energy for a brighter future.
Why Sustainability Matters to Us?
At Thelen Auto Group we're not just about selling cars- we're about driving change. By adopting innovative green technologies, we're working to create a better tomorrow for our community and the planet. We believe that the choices we make today profoundly impact the community we call home. That's why we've embraced sustainability as a core value, investing in clean energy solutions to power our new Thelen Subaru dealership and reduce our environment footprint.
In 2024, we took a significant step forward by installing a state-of-the-art solar array on our new Thelen Subaru building. This investment powers our operations with clean energy, reduces our carbon footprint, and set the tone for future sustainable initiatives.
Our new solar array is more than just a technological upgrade; it's a pledge to support a greener, healthier future for our neighbors, employees, customers, and community.
A Closer Look at Our Solar Array
How It Works: Powering a Greener Dealership
How Our Solar Array Helps Power the Community
The energy generated by our solar panels doesn't just power the dealership—it benefits our community. By reducing our reliance on traditional energy sources, we're helping to lower the overall demand for fossil fuels and paving the way for a greener economy. Our dealership’s commitment to green initiatives also supports local pollution reduction and sets a standard for environmental responsibility in our region.
- Excess solar energy is returned to the grid, supporting local households.
- Our initiative encourages other businesses to invest in renewable energy
- By prioritizing green technology, we're fostering sustainable practices in our industry and beyond.
Through our solar initiative, we hope to inspire other local businesses and residents to explore sustainable solutions. Together, we can create a community that thrives on clean energy and environmental stewardship.

Our solar array is just the beginning. Thelen Auto Group is exploring additional green initiatives, such as water conversation systems, EV promotion, and waste reduction programs, to further our sustainability journey.
