Overview

Microflex Film Corp., based in Riverside, CA, specializes in manufacturing high-quality custom printed packaging and serves a diverse range of industries, including food, beverage, nutritional supplements, cosmetics, and more.

Company officials were highly motivated to invest in clean energy solutions as part of their ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Additionally, they sought to enhance their operational efficiency and positively impact their bottom line by achieving significant long-term utility savings through solar energy.

Solution

After consulting with Renova Energy, it was determined that installing a system composed of 234 high-efficiency SunPower 360 W panels would be the ideal solution to help Microflex Film Corp. achieve their clean energy and cost-saving goals. The design made optimal use of the available space on their roof to maximize energy production. In its first year alone, the system generated an impressive 153,204 kWh of clean, renewable energy, successfully offsetting two-thirds of their electric bill and significantly reducing their operating costs.

Benefits

Using a conservative utility price inflation factor, it is projected that Microflex Film Corp. will save over $1 million in energy costs over the next 30 years. If utility rates increase beyond current projections, the company’s total savings could be even greater. This significant long-term financial benefit highlights the value of their investment in solar energy, not only as a cost-saving measure but also as a commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency for decades to come.
