Almond processing plant
Central California
$394K estimated savings in year one

Founded in 2007, Golden Empire Shelling (GES) is a grower-owned, state-of-the-art facility, processing up to 70 million pounds of almonds per year. When the drought caused yields to decline, GES General Manager John Wynn sought a solution that could help cut costs: solar.

With a 1.04 MW solar system, featuring 2400 Maxeon panels tracking the sun for maximum energy production on 4.5 acres, GES was able to offset an estimated 90 percent of their electricity use during peak season, and more than cover electricity use during the off-season.

“I believe in the product – the longer life and lower degradation rate of the panels.”
