This lighting manufacturer saves thousands on energy with Barrier’s bright ideas
Cool roof and 358 kilowatt Solar Power System
LIGHTING WAREHOUSE IN MADERA, CALIFORNIA
THE CHALLENGE
BK Lighting is a world renowned outdoor illumination manufacturer, known for innovative and energy-efficient products. Unfortunately, its facility did not reflect those qualities; its old roof and antiquated solar power system resulting in high energy costs. Barrier was challenged to replace the roof and upgrade the solar system to reduce – or, ideally, eliminate – the client’s energy bills, without disrupting operations.
THE PROCESS
Barrier removed the aging roof and outdated solar system, and installed an energy-efficient cool roof and state-of-the-art solar powerhouse custom-designed and engineered to produce more than enough energy for the client’s operational needs. Additionally, we installed solar carports to enhance the system’s power while providing much-appreciated shaded parking.
THE RESULT
BK Lighting’s facility is now consistent with the company’s reputation for innovation and energy-efficiency, with leading-edge technologies in both its cool roof and solar energy system. More importantly, Barrier has enabled the client to produce enough power to virtually eliminate its reliance on the utility.
