Vista Solar Announces 2.5-Megawatt SunPower Solar Power System at Shelter Creek Condominiums

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Vista Solar, a SunPower Commercial Dealer, has been chosen by Shelter Creek Condominiums, a 1,296 unit multi-family development, to design and install a 2.5-megawatt high efficiency SunPower solar project in San Bruno, Calif.  There will be eight phases of construction of the rooftop solar system. Once complete, the solar system will offset over 70 percent of the community's annual electricity usage.

"As one of the largest multi-family developments in San Mateo County, and having just completed the installation of Fiber Optic connections to each condo through the, 'Fiber to the Home' Project enabled by the City of San Bruno and San Bruno Cable, we believe Shelter Creek has set the bar for advanced technology," said Ronnie Rosen, General Manager of Shelter Creek.

"This solar installation adds immense value to the community," Rosen continued. "It complements our California Energy Commission-granted electric vehicle charging stations, LED lighting components in the common areas, renewable energy recycling, composting, and sustainability through the 'no neonicotinoid pesticide' policy for our on-site apiary, or honey bee super hives."

With a 25-year Combined Power and Product Warranty, SunPower's high efficiency solar panels maximize solar energy generation in limited space. The Shelter Creek solar installation is expected to generate 3,632,773 kilowatt-hours annually - equivalent to removing 579 cars from the road, powering 292 homes, or saving 2,957,956 pounds of coal from being burned.

"Shelter Creek's a clear example of a community taking sustainability measures into its own hands," said Brian Brogan, Lead Project Developer at Vista Solar. "It's an honor to have the opportunity to provide clean renewable energy to this community for the next 25+ years."
