Solar energy company in Missoula plans new commercial building, apartments

With confidence in the energy future high and business growing, a renewable energy company based in Missoula plans to break ground on a $2.2 million commercial space to showcase its technology and highlight its solar offerings.

Solar Plexus, currently located in an old farmhouse on Stephens Avenue, intends to raze a portion of the structure and build a 3,100-square-foot commercial space with three apartments located on the second floor.

As it stands, Hamilton said, the company is not permitted to generate and sell its own electricity. In other words, it can’t sell the power it generates to the apartment tenants, though it can use the power to offset the building’s overall power consumption.
