Anaheim,
CA, USA (March 6, 2016) -- SunGreen
Systems, experts in the design and construction of
commercial solar systems and sustainable, smart energy solutions,
will be attending the ribbon-cutting to inaugurate a new 521.5 KW
solar power systems that SunGreen designed and installed for YKK
U.S.A., Inc. The new photovoltaic systems will generate sufficient
power to meet 97.6 percent of the energy needs of YKK's zipper
manufacturing facility and it will be the fourth largest solar array
in operation in the city of Anaheim.
SunGreen
Systems designed and installed the new solar system using 1,968 solar
panels provided by Mitsubishi Electric. The total power output for
the new solar system is 521.5 kW of DC power, with an annual power
capacity of 843,336 kWh. The new solar installation will not only
deliver all of the power needed for YKK's Anaheim plant, but it will
also help fulfill the YKK's mission of environmental protection and
sustainability for its global operations.
"This
is the first solar system we designed and installed for YKK and we
are extremely proud of this project," said Rick Hsu, CEO of
SunGreen Systems. "This solar installation will be able to meet
all of YKK's power requirements and is part of this fastener
company's commitment to reducing greenhouse gases and promoting
sustainable operations worldwide."
The
new YKK solar system will offset 896 tons of carbon dioxide annually,
or an estimated 27,000 tons of CO2 over the life of the solar system.
That's the equivalent of planting 4,484 trees each year or 134,520
trees over the life of the system.
Using
solar power for YKK's Anaheim facility supports the company's 1994
Environmental Charter to support conservation and preserve natural
resources for future generations. YKK has 109 affiliated
organizations in more than 70 countries with more than 39,000
employees.
