Toyota of Anaheim was looking for ways to cut the high cost of overhead of their major Southern California auto dealership. Rooftop solar provided a way to use the available showroom rooftop area to save money and also operate with more renewable energy.
HES Renewables built a 1040-panel rooftop solar system designed to offset 40% of Toyota of Anaheim’s energy use. The build used top-quality panels to ensure long-term, optimized production and reliability. The 343.2 kilowatt system produces an estimated 513,458 kWh of electricity from the abundant California sunshine every year.
With an estimated $70,000 in annual savings (based on the utilities electric rates at the time of the installation in 2019), the solar system will deliver self-generated electricity to keep energy costs low even as utility rates climb. The system’s payback period is a short 4.7 years and in 25 years the expected savings on energy bills will total $2,565,000.
