Saving the environment means saving money for Aussie Pet Mobile and its 100-plus franchise owners.
The nation’s largest mobile pet grooming service on wheels today announced the introduction of a new 135-watt solar panel roof mount system for its pet grooming vans. The new solar system option has proven to significantly reduce monthly fuel and electrical consumption for Aussie Pet Mobile franchise owners.
“Innovation is at the core of our company and the solar energy option we’ve adopted is another way we’re advancing the pet grooming industry,” said Rick Arevalo, president and CEO of Aussie Pet Mobile. “We are thrilled to be raising the bar even higher for others in the pet industry.”
In June 2008, Aussie Pet Mobile tested a 25-watt solar panel to evaluate the potential cost and emissions savings with its franchise unit in Alpharetta, Ga. The findings were extremely positive, with fuel consumption cut by 30 percent. In addition, the solar panel eliminated the need for Aussie Pet Mobile owners to plug-in their vans for charging on a nightly basis. With the solar panel, charging is recommended just once a week.
