The Sheep Creek Community Solar Farm is the first project in SCE’s Community Renewable Program, and one of the first community solar projects in California.
This rooftop using PermaCity patented brackets for standing seam roofs was Southern California Edison (SCE) solar success story because it reduced load to zero when audited by SCE. System design produced 60% more power because of the design’s shaded roof and reduced HVAC and refrigeration loads.
This project was a major step into carbon neutrality and led the banking industry as a whole. This architectural, elegant, award-winning solar carport powers the office building and parking deck while reducing the HVAC load on both structures.
The 1.1 MW system leveraged SolarStrap® technology during installation on three acres of rooftop area, generating an estimated 2.5 million kW of renewable power each year.
Community solar farm sited on preserved agricultural land. Landowner has leased several acres for the development of clean energy while offering additional acreage to the community to support community-shared agriculture programs.
The Forever21 HQ project set a number of records upon completion: it ranks as the largest solar roof project in Los Angeles County, the first site to have Net Energy Meter and FiT on the same site, and the largest solar-powered company headquarters. The 5.1 MW project offsets 100% of building consumption and is compliant with LA DWP regulations.
A pioneer project that led to the next generation of solar system concepts, the Costco projects (plural, as a total of 31 sites were installed) utilized the team’s patented standing seam roof brackets to avoid penetration and maximize installations.
The PermaCity team’s experience with the Los Angeles market and Feed-in Tariff (FiT) program led the way for the successful PV system installation on this historic 1920’s warehouse near the ocean, which required strategic coatings and preparation to prevent galvanic action.
The first large commercial solar project in Southgate, CA, Damco was built on an industrial metal seam roof, which required additional engineering for a custom racking design. The final design not only enabled solar installation, but also considerably increased strength on the roof surface.
This was the largest motion picture studio solar at COD, with a unique design which covered the entire roof and two parting garages with solar canopies.
This project is part of Anheuser-Busch InBev’s commitment to a 100% renewable electricity future. It was made possible by our patented SolarStrap® technology and our team in obtaining permits in the city of L.A.
The 13 MW system installed on the federal US Postal Service distribution center using SolarStrap® technology involved 35,000 solar panels over 23 acres, making it the largest installation generating electricity through solar energy in L.A. at the time of completion. This project is expected to earn the USPS over $10 million in combined lease revenue and electricity savings.
At the time of project completion, the Los Angeles Convention Center was the largest solar-powered convention center in the nation and tipped the rankings to make L.A. the largest solar-powered city. The non-ballasted and non-penetrating SolarStrap® technology enabled the project to move forward on a public facility and reduced expenses by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Amherst Community Solar farm is the first project in NYSERDA’s Community Solar Program to be sited in the Town of Amherst.
The project was made possible by SolarStrap® technology, in which structural calculations and system qualification were crucial for a uniquely lightweight but stout system to withstand the wind forces in the area.
One of the largest recent solar installations in Los Angeles County, the Xebec Realty rooftop supplies 1,100 local homes with electricity or 1,330 vehicles with electric power in its first 30 years, thanks to the SolarStrap® technology that enabled the project to be installed on a standard lightweight rooftop structure.
Located on private land, this solar field provides clean, affordable energy to the local utility to serve its annual ratepayers. The property owner benefits from annual lease payments over the term of 30 years.
This project used SolarStrap® technology to install solar racking on this state-of-the-art cold storage facility, resulting in the largest single-metered Feed-in Tariff (FiT) solar project in California.
The rooftop community solar array will provide clean energy to surrounding residents and businesses along with the opportunity to save an estimated 10% of their electricity bills. JCC of Harrison benefits from annual lease income in exchange for renting their rooftop space to host the solar energy system. JCC of Harrison will receive approximately $405,000 in rental payments over the 30-year lease term.
This project leveraged the patented SolarStrap® technology to install a 2.2 MW project on an Amazon distribution warehouse. It is also part of the City of Los Angeles’ Feed-in Tariff (FiT) program that allows the team to lease industrial roofs and sell the power to the city, supporting resilience and local climate goals.
At the time of installation, the Westmont project was the largest solar roof complex at 16.4 MW, spanning four structures, and remains among the largest years later. The system created 500 local jobs and generated an estimated 565 million KW during its first 20 years, mitigating emissions equivalent to 5,000 homes or 6,000 cars off the road.
The Selkirk Solar project is a NYSERDA Community Solar Program site nestled on a hilltop field adjacent to the large CSX rail yard in the Selkirk Village, within the Town of Bethlehem, NY.
The rooftop community solar array will provide clean energy to surrounding residents and businesses along with the opportunity to save an estimated 10% of their electricity bills. CubeSmart benefits from annual lease income in exchange for renting their rooftop space to host the solar energy system. CubeSmart will receive approximately $847,000 in rental payments over the 25-year lease term.
