Solar Monkey, a system integrating company, and KYOCERA Solar, a global solar company, have declared the culmination of a 247.70-kW solar system installation at Rainbow Sandals’ headquarters in San Clemente, California.
The system designed and integrated by Solar Monkey incorporates 1,170 KYOCERA KD210GX-LPU high-output 210-W modules that are expected to supply 340,000 kWh of energy per year. The solar system installed over the rooftop of the corporate office of Rainbow Sandals, is expected to produce enough power to offset 87% of the total power requirement of the building.
Steve Hill, KYOCERA Solar’s president, said that his company is engaged in eco-preservation and clean energy generation for the past 35 years. He added for the purpose of meeting the growing demand for solar energy installations, his company has recently started the production operations at its plant in San Diego, California. He further said that the solar energy provides protection against increasing costs of electric power and is considered as a viable alternative to the power produced from fossil fuel. He concluded saying that Rainbow Sandals has joined those companies that are conscious about clean energy and solar power usage.
Matthew McCullough, Solar Monkey’s CEO, said that as an experienced company in system integration his company has helped KYOCERA to meet the ever increasing demand for solar products. He added that they use KYOCERA’s solar products for their quality and efficiency in ingenerating electric power. Jay Sparky Longley, the Founder and President of the company Rainbow Sandals, said that his company being eco-conscious will draw most of its day-to-day energy use from renewable energy. He added along with KYOCERA and Solar Monkey, his company shared the concern of producing cost–effective, environment-friendly products. He concluded expressing his happiness about the completion of the project.
