ESCONDIDO, Calif., July 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SolarTech, a leading solar
provider for residential, commercial, and nonprofit clients in
California, recently installed a
tailor-made solar solution for Escondido auto dealerships Toyota of
Escondido and Hyundai of
Escondido. Recognizing the need to
adapt to escalating energy costs and evolving market demands for
sustainability, the dealerships sought solar energy solutions with
SolarTech to address cost savings and market positioning goals.
Facing time-sensitive challenges, including the anticipated
shift towards electric vehicles by 2030 and imminent changes in Net
Energy Metering (NEM) policies, Toyota and Hyundai Escondido sought
swift solar solutions to maximize financial benefits amidst
changing regulations. Toyota Escondido also aimed to leverage vehicle
allocation incentives for sustainable capital improvements under
Toyota's Vehicle Supplemental Support program.
SolarTech successfully navigated several challenges throughout
this large-scale solar installation. Due to supply chain
constraints, the modules delivered to the site differed in physical
dimensions from those specified in the system design. SolarTech
re-engineered the solar layouts and collaborated with city
officials for expedited approval, limiting delays to just 30 days.
Working around the limited space and operational hours at both
dealerships, SolarTech, along with Toyota and Hyundai management,
organized a "solar day", a coordinated 24-hour event to install
over 1800 modules with minimal disruption.
As a result of SolarTech's adaptable engineering, partnerships
with city and utility officials, Toyota and Hyundai Escondido stand
to save over $20M in energy costs
over the next 30 years. Toyota Escondido secured an allocation of an
additional 131 vehicles, enhancing their sales potential. Both
solar arrays will generate additional energy to service upcoming EV
charging stations and favorable NEM 2.0 rates were locked in before
legislative changes could diminish returns.
"We reached out to SolarTech because our facility, with its
extensive service bays, was facing an enormous electricity bill.
SolarTech provided expert advice on the best solutions to save us
money, and the results have been remarkable—our electricity costs
have gone way down! You couldn't believe the efficiency that
SolarTech was able to provide this facility. In my 32 years at
Toyota of Escondido, SolarTech has
been the best company to work with," stated Damian Campos, Senior Sales Manager.
