Commercial Solar in Anaheim, CA

Anaheim, CA – 121 kW

This commercial client, a leading industrial and residential gases company, uses the building as one of their filling plants, which is an energy-intensive process. The client wanted to both lower the facility’s bills as much as possible and also adopt to clean energy, since the company is very progressive on their sustainability initiatives.

Since its inception in December 2012, the 504-panel solar system offset about 95% of the electricity bills, lowering them from about $2,700 to a mere $146/month. The project ROI is 80% thanks to the sizeable utility rebates and federal tax incentives – a 30% tax credit and additional depreciation benefits-, which result in a cash flow payback of 3.5 years.
