Solar you (and we) can be proud of

Since 2009, SunGreen Systems has been designing and installing custom turnkey solar PV solutions. These project summaries will help you get a better idea of our work. In 2015, SunGreen designed and installed a premium, 690+ rooftop solar panels for Mortech Manufacturing of Asuza, Calif. Prior to this, SunGreen also built an advanced commercial solar power system for the Los Angeles Dept. of Social Services in Glendale, Calif. This solar solution contained over 1,400 rooftop solar modules, custom installed atop the canopy of a parking structure. For YKK-USA Inc., located in Anaheim, CA, SunGreen designed and installed a cost-effective commercial rooftop solution containing 1,968 solar PV modules. These are just a few examples of SunGreen's extensive solar system design, engineering, and installation expertise. The below slideshow will go into dozens of SunGreen's recent solar installation projects in more detail.

Challenge	Solution
At the time of construction, this was the largest full coverage solar parking garage in Southern California. This presented challenges during the engineering process. Full coverage solar systems require special fire department approval. Despite being a 30+ year old building, with new building owners and new utility customer accounts, SCE did not have historical data to reference the building's energy usage.	This was our third parking garage top solar system, and our second one in Irvine. Our previous projects and partner experience helped us adhere to all requirements from the city of Irvine to ensure a smooth permitting process. We did the heavy lifting for our first project in Irvine and could reference this and other parking garage top solar systems in California to get our designs approved. We performed an energy audit of the building's mechanical equipment to prepare a load justification for the three different interconnections for this project.

Description: Parking Canopy
Installed: August 2019
Industry: Class A Office

Products Used: United Renewable Energy 375W

System Size: 2,688 Solar PV Modules
Capacity: 1,008 kW DC

Environmental Benefits:

• CO₂ offset in year 1,176 tons
• CO₂ offset over life: 35,280 tons

This amount of CO2 offset is the equivalent of planting 17,643 trees every year. For life of system 529,290 trees would have to be planted to offset this amount of CO2.
