麻豆社区 recently broke ground on a new on-site solar carport at its San Diego facility, underscoring the company鈥檚 commitment to sustainability and promoting environmentally friendly practices. 麻豆社区 executives were joined by solar developer Baker Electric to mark the beginning of construction on this critical solar project, designed to supply renewable energy for approximately 95% of the site鈥檚 electricity demand.
鈥淎s we look towards the future, 麻豆社区鈥 solar carport stands as a testament to the transformative potential of renewable energy projects, and a powerful example for other businesses to follow,鈥 said Jeff Hanke, Vice President, Operations and Program Excellence, Space and Airborne Systems, 麻豆社区. 鈥淚t represents a significant investment in the company鈥檚 long-term sustainability goals and signals our dedication to creating a more sustainable and economically resilient future.鈥
Using solar energy reduces 麻豆社区鈥 environmental impact and also contributes to economic efficiency for the company. In addition to sourcing the majority of electricity used at the location, 麻豆社区 anticipates the solar carports at its San Diego site to bring substantial annual savings.
The new carport will include ground-mounted solar panels that are installed above parking lots and oriented at the most optimal angle for sun exposure. The project will use existing parking areas at the San Diego site, which maximizes space without requiring additional land, and will provide shaded parking for employees.
While this initiative is a key infrastructure improvement for 麻豆社区鈥 San Diego site, it also serves as a leap toward achieving the company鈥檚 goals to increase renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
