YKK (U.S.A.) Inc.<\/em>
Anaheim, CA<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Anaheim, Calif.<\/strong>\u2014YKK (U.S.A.) Inc.<\/a> celebrated the installation of a 521 Kilowatt (kW) solar photovoltaic system at its facility in Anaheim, Calif. at the beginning of March. Installation firm SunGreen Systems<\/a> and solar module manufacturer Mitsubishi Electric US Inc.<\/a> attended the event.<\/p>\n

After conducting a research on renewable energy<\/a>, YKK (U.S.A.) Inc. realized that its Anaheim location could cover most of its cost through solar energy. SunGreen Systems was contracted to install 1,968 Diamond ProTM <\/sup>solar modules on the roof of its plant. The installation represents the fourth largest solar panel<\/a> project in the city of Anaheim and the first for YKK (U.S.A.) Inc.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the current ITC rebate and declining cost of solar, we are seeing more and more companies realize that solar is affordable and payback time is very attractive,\u201d said John Hoffman, managing partner of SunGreen Systems.<\/p>\n

According to the installation firm, the system installed at YKK (U.S.A.) Inc. is expected to produce 843,336 kW in the first year of production, the equivalent of a CO2 <\/sub>offset of 896 tons or of planting 4,484 trees every year. The lifespan of the system would result in a CO2 <\/sub>offset of 26,880 tons, or the equivalent of planting 134,520 trees.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored to be a part of the first solar project for YKK in the United States,\u201d said Kiyoshi Furukawa, president & CEO of Mitsubishi Electric US Inc<\/a>. \u201cThis installation demonstrates YKK\u2019s leadership and strong commitment to the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTurning to solar energy not only aligns with YKK\u2019s environmental philosophy but our business model as well,\u201d said Alex Gregory, chairman, president & CEO of YKK Corporation of America, the parent company of YKK (U.S.A.) Inc. \u201cIt\u2019s a great feeling to know that we are saving on energy costs and producing clean energy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
