SPG Solar has installed 4,354 photovoltaic solar panels in Alameda County.
The rooftop and carport solar power system is expected to provide 40% of US Foodservice-San Francisco’s power needs during daylight hours.
With a predicted output of more than 1.3 million kWh annually at its peak, the solar array is expected to generate enough electricity to power up to 194 average California homes for one year.
US Foodservice said it is leasing the solar system from Delta Electronics, a provider of renewable energy products.
US Foodservice division president Phil Collins said the company’s new solar panel system will benefit both the environment and its bottom line.
