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.”

Project Specs:

Fruit processing plant in Sacramento, CA
1.47 MW
60% electricity offset

$13M projected savings over 25 years

California fruit producer picks solar and saves millions

Fruit grower, processor and shipper Rivermaid Trading Co. produces more than 50% of the pears in California and 8% of the state’s cherry crop. Processing such large quantities of fruit to arrive at market in peak condition requires substantial energy for fruit processing machines and cold storage. Rivermaid was looking for a way to offset electricity costs with a clean energy solution that was as sustainable as the farming operation itself.

With 4,510 Maxeon panels producing 1.47 MW of clean energy, Rivermaid is able to offset up to 60% of their electricity use during the summer months and is projected to save more than $13 million over the next 25 years. Additionally, solar augments the company’s sustainable farming strategy by bringing product to market with less reliance on fossil fuels.

“Energy consumption at our fruit-packing facility is driven largely by cold storage. We are able to offset almost 60% of our electricity use in the summer by installing solar.”
Patrick Archibeque
CEO, Rivermaid Trading Co.
