Green Charge-REC Solar Plan Solar Storage Facility In Rohnert, California

11/14/2016
Green Charge and REC Solar plans to build the largest commercial solar-plus-energy storage project in Sonoma County, California. Green Charge’s one megawatt commercial energy storage system paired with REC Solar’s solar system will be installed at SOMO Village in Rohnert Park, California.

The combined solar-plus-storage system is expected to deliver more than $160,000 savings to SOMO Village in the first year and more than $1.8 million over the first 10 years of operations.

“SOMO Village is a leader in renewable energy adoption,” said Alan Russo, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at REC Solar. “We are proud to be their energy partner and to work alongside the Green Charge team to maximize the impact of their solar investment.”

“Solar PV has long been seen as an environmentally responsible energy choice, but many companies now deploy solar with energy storage because it is also a smart business choice,” said Vic Shao, CEO of Green Charge. “With a combined solar and storage system, the potential savings and return on investment can be much greater than each can provide on a standalone basis.”
