San Diego-Based DiscounTechnology Goes Solar With Stellar Solar
Their 30 kW solar system, with another 30kW planned, is just a part of the progressive technology integrator's extensive green initiative at their completely overhauled Mission Valley headquarters
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- DiscounTechnology is pleased to announce the installation of a 30 kW solar electric system at their San Diego, California headquarters. Plans are already in the works to add on an additional 30kW early next year. The system was designed and installed by San Diego solar company Stellar Solar and utilized SunPower high-efficiency solar modules and Stellar's proprietary non-penetrating rooftop racking system.
Jesse Menczer, founder and CEO of DiscounTechnology, explained his firm's ambitious green initiative:
"We've been growing rapidly over the years and therefore needed much bigger facilities. We bought a functionally obsolete building in Mission Valley that was built in the early 1980s and embarked on a total remodel, both interior and exterior of the building. This gave us an opportunity to make the building not only high-tech, but also green. We have implemented skylights and solar tubes in as many work-spaces as possible to avoid using artificial light and thus electricity. We've also deployed ultra-efficient HVAC systems and LED technology in all of our exterior and parking lot lighting. The landscaping has been replaced with indigenous, low water, drought tolerant species to reduce our impact on water supplies. The PV solar system was an obvious and necessary part of our efficiency and environmentally friendly goals." He added, "We wanted an experienced commercial solar integrator who was competitively priced and Stellar Solar fit that bill perfectly. They are professionals who take solar seriously, as evidenced by their proprietary racking system."
Michael Powers, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Stellar, added, "What DiscounTechnology has done with that building is really amazing. They are truly walking the talk when it comes to green initiatives and leading by example within their industry and community."
