Brick House Blue Case Study

As businesses and organizations continue to face rising utility costs, property owners Rayce Robinson and Andy Warnock chose to invest in solar energy as a way to gain greater control over long-term operating expenses and help protect against future electric rate increases. Located within a thoughtfully restored historic landmark in Plain City, Ohio, the facility currently hosts Brick House Blue and serves as a hub for entrepreneurs, professionals, and community organizations through its coworking spaces, private offices, meeting rooms, and event venues.

After successfully collaborating on other projects within the Westwood Collective portfolio, the team once again partnered with Gold Path Solar to design and install a system that aligned with their long-term goals. This commercial solar installation helps offset a significant portion of the property’s electricity usage, creating more predictable energy costs while supporting continued investment in the spaces and experiences that make the facility a valuable community resource. By producing clean energy on-site, this building serves as a powerful example of how historic properties can blend preservation with innovation, advancing both economic sustainability and environmental responsibility.

This system features 105 Hyundai 440W solar panels with Enphase IQ8AC microinverters, delivering reliable performance and efficient energy production throughout the year. Producing clean electricity on-site helps stabilize energy costs and ensures the building can continue serving the community while reducing its environmental footprint.
