Energy Efficient
Here at Advanced Gauging Technologies, we take pride in being innovative. Since our most recent idea is now operational, we wanted to share the exciting news with you!
In an effort to be cutting edge and create a more environmentally friendly workplace, we have installed 124 solar panels atop the roof of our Plain City, Ohio offices . Together, these panels produce up to 35 kilowatts of energy per hour, which covers, on average, 96% of our usage.
