This solar power system is expected to save La Vina Ranch over $66,500 annually

NOVATO, Calif. — La Vina Ranch in Madera, CA and SPG Solar , a national solar energy company serving commercial solar clients, have completed a 396 kilowatt (kW) DC ground-mounted solar power system, which will provide up to 75 percent of the electricity needed at La Vina's adjacent cold storage facility. This solar power system is expected to save La Vina Ranch over $66,500 annually.

"Our partnership with SPG Solar made going solar easy," said Karrie Besuner from La Vina Ranch. "With the available incentives and a system designed to deliver the most energy, the business case was clear. This system will not only provide significant savings but it shows our commitment to sustainability."

Over 1,300 solar panels will generate more than 610,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity annually – equivalent to producing enough electricity to power 55 average American homes annually.

"As a family run business, La Vina Ranch has a long-term outlook. We focused on their need for a solution that provides them the greatest energy savings over the life of the system and stabilizes their energy costs for generations to come," said Chris Robine, CEO of SPG Solar.
