Even More Reasons to Install Commercial Solar for Your San Diego Company
In addition to the cost savings and tax benefits business owners receive from installing solar, there are other reasons to move forward with a commercial solar installation for your company or commercial property in San Diego. Here are some additional benefits.
Commercial Solar Provides Reliable and Low Maintenance Energy
Solar energy systems require little to no maintenance. The panels are installed on a rack on the roof of your building and nothing moves. In California where the weather is relatively calm year round, you can count on your solar panels to be easy to maintain and you will not encounter issues like you would in other regions with more extreme weather.
In addition to reliable equipment, most plans come with a warranty service that will allow you to contact one of our maintenance technicians to come out and repair any solar panels that might have gotten damaged or don’t work. For more information, please contact us today to talk to a representative about how the maintenance works.
Business Solar Supports a Green Business Approach
Solar power systems derive clean, pure energy from the sun. Installing solar panels on your commercial property helps combat greenhouse gas emissions and reduces your collective dependence on fossil fuel. When fossil fuels are burned to produce electricity, they emit harmful gases that are the primary cause of air pollution and global climate change. Not only are fossil fuels bad for the environment, but they are also a finite resource. Because of this, the price is constantly fluctuating and can increase in a short period of time.
Renewable energy also improves public health. Coal and natural gas plants produce air and water pollution that is harmful to human health. But replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources, such as solar power, can reduce premature mortality as well as overall health care costs.

Case Study - California Commercial Solar Installation San Diego, an Important Renewable Energy Source for this Specialty Mushroom Grower
Hokto Kinoko, a grower and producer of mushroom superfoods in California, utilizes a Revel Energy commercial solar installation to reduce energy costs by approximately 60%. One company of many in San Diego lowering energy costs and raising net income with commercial solar.
Researchers at Hokto Kinoko believe mushrooms are the ultimate super food, packed with health benefits yet to be fully realized by the American public. Their state-of-the-art facility in San Marcos, CA, is used for production and research. Prior to Revel Energy installing a comprehensive commercial solar power system, the building used over 2,710,000 kwh per year.
Saving Electricity Costs While Investing in Capital Expenditure
Hokto was spending a significant portion of operating costs in electrical usage and demand charges. Adding to expenses, the facility needed a new commercial roof. “They were consuming a lot of electricity,” explains Martin Brix, Revel Energy VP of Solutions. “Solar power alone was not going to drastically lower their power bill.” Brix determined there was a need to add an Energy Storage System to knock off peak demand charges.
A total of 2,960 360W monocrystalline solar panels and a 285 kW – 405kWh energy storage system were installed. Hokto will supplement their energy consumption from San Diego Gas & Electric with 60% renewable energy. “They were essentially able to save a major portion of their power bill with this solution,” Brix explained. “By taking advantage of the savings, 26% Federal Tax Credit and accelerated depreciation, they offset the cost of their new roof. Solar was the vehicle to offset a major expense… in this case it was a new commercial roof.”
Revel Energy finds it common for customers, like Hokto Kinoko, to bundle a new commercial roof with their renewable energy projects. This adds to Revel Energy’s comprehensive energy solution. Combining multiple technologies is important for capturing maximum energy savings. In this case, Hokto now has a new, more energy efficient roof backed by a standard commercial roof warranty.
California businesses spending $1,500 or more in monthly electricity charges stand to benefit greatly from commercial solar and other renewable energy technologies. Incentives like the 26% Federal Tax Credit lowers the initial investment for building owners and operators. Many other incentives are available and businesses are encouraged to reach out to a commercial solar professional like Revel for a free consultation.
Considering rising energy costs, Hokto Kinoko will save an estimated $9.7m over 25 years. Future expenses like these are common for California businesses. A commercial solar installation is essential to control California’s rising utility costs, averaging 6% growth per year.
