At SunGreen Systems, we see things differently and sometimes that involves finding the right solution for a particular client.  Whether that be a technology, product, or aesthetics, we'll install a solar system you'll want to show off. 

Last year in Fontana, SunGreen Systems and Stem completed the largest commercial solar and storage system in California (Source: SGIP Database) at Solar Atmospheres of California.  This system consisted of a large Tesla battery system installed by Stem and full coverage rooftop and large cantilevered solar carports by SunGreen Systems.

We are excited to announce our latest project is for the newest dealership at the Irvine Auto Center (And the first to go solar!).  You might have noticed the announcement last week with our partners at Kern Solar Structures & Sunpower.  Below is the press release Kern posted and we'll be providing more updates as the project continues.

Batteries and other energy storage technology can provide significant savings to businesses and homes. They do so by strategically deploying the solar energy you produce at higher priced times. For businesses a battery also decreases the demand charges. For some tax incentives, the battery can only be charged by the solar energy system (or needs at least 75% to be charged by solar). How does a battery know when to charge/discharge the electricity? That depends on what type of battery you get.

On January 1st, 2020, the Business Investment Tax Credit (ITC) will step down from the current 30% to 26%. The residential solar tax credit will also be stepping down to 26%.

In 2017, Coaster Company began solarizing their buildings.  We began with solar systems on their headquarters and warehouse in Santa Fe Springs.  At the end of last year, we completed their third photovoltaic system on their warehouse in Fontana. Our installation team sent us this picture after they were done and we felt we had to share it!

MILLBRAE, Calif., Sept. 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stem, Inc. has announced new collaborations with Urban Energy Solutions, LLC and SunGreen Systems to use Stem’s artificial intelligence (AI), Athena, in intelligent solar + storage solutions in Arizona and California. These projects represent Stem’s entry into a sixth U.S. state and the continued high growth of solar + storage momentum across the country.

From Azusa to Anaheim, Rialto to Riverside, and Garden Grove to Bell Gardens, solar installations are changing more than the landscape.

In five years, the cost of solar energy has dropped 65 percent. The United States now has more than 10 times the solar capacity installed than it did in 2011.

The forecast for the solar industry is bright and sunny with California the epicenter of both job creation and PV installations.
