Award winning local manufacturer and distributor of fine organic and natural foods, SunRidge Farms, announced today the completion of a 99 kilowatt state-of-the-art solar electric system onto the roof of its Pajaro warehouse building. And, since the companys colorful brand depicts the image of a dazzling sunrise over fertile Pajaro-like fields, placing solar panels on its roof appears to be a natural fit.

“The suns generosity was a source of our inspiration, our product offering and our name some 30 years ago when we began manufacturing and distributing organic and natural foods. And, now the suns power will literally be generating the electricity that cools our product warehouse.” stated Mary Quillin, company spokesperson.

The week of June 11th marks the switch to solar for SunRidge Farms as the solar engineers from Independent Energy Systems complete the 540 SunPower panel installation. It is anticipated that the project will offset over 60% of the companys peak electrical costs.

“Better yet, says Quillin, “going solar will help fulfill a company dream and offset the companys carbon footprint considerably.”

A “carbon footprint” is the measure of impact that human activities have on the environment and the health of the planet. It refers to the amount of greenhouse gases produced that both increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and accelerate the condition of global warming.

The anticipated output of the 99 kilowatt PV (photo-voltaic) system is over 160,000 kilowatt hours of production in the first year, and the expected lifetime of the system is over 25 years.

“What this translates to environmentally is a substantial benefit in the first year alone: the elimination of 201,000 lbs. of CO2 emissions that is a reduction of over 100 tons of CO2 -which is the atmospheric equivalent of planting 16 acres of trees or not driving a standard vehicle 240,000+ miles.” stated Bob Evans, President of Independent Energy Systems.
