HelioPower, Inc. and Dr. Bronners are pleased to announce the successful installation of a 346 kilowatt (kW) DC solar PV installation at Dr. Bronners primary manufacturing and distribution facility in Southern California. The recently installed 346 kW DC solar PV system is coupled with the PredictEnergyTM Commercial Energy Management System, marking a significant milestone for Dr. Bronners sustainability program and their ability to reduce their energy consumption.

"As the next step in our sustainability program, the solar power system will generate 572,000 kilowatt hours of electricity, accommodating about 50% of Dr. Bronners factory headquarters needs on an annual basis," says Dr. Bronners Strategic Advisor & CSR Manager, Kris Lin-Bronner. "Our new permaculture designed, drought-tolerant garden, will also eliminate the need for any irrigation of 27,000 square feet of newly landscaped areas. This will save more than 600,000 gallons of water annually, enough for 100 people to take a shower each day for a whole year," Lin-Bronner said.
