Ongoing Returns: A Solar System That Reduces Power Costs by $50,000 Annually
KYOCERA’s solar installation is not just a new energy solution–it’s a milestone in KYOCERA’s journey toward a greener future, setting an example for sustainable innovation in the corporate world.
Now the largest solar installation in Cuyahoga Falls, the state-of-the-art system features advanced production monitoring technology, allowing real-time data access and insights into energy performance. In year one alone, the system will create a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions totaling 383 metric tons of carbon dioxide. This is equal to 6,330 tree seedlings grown over the span of 10 years.
And equally important to their bottom line: it’s expected to reduce power costs by roughly $50,000 annually for KYOCERA operations.
Hello Sunray continues to optimize KYOCERA’s new solar installation through regular monitoring and maintenance–always looking for ways to improve solar energy production and environmental impact.
