Rio Rico, Ariz. – Arizona-based SunFed has begun work on one of the largest commercial installation of solar power in southern Arizona.  The nearly half megawatt solar system will be mounted on the roof of their 46,000 sq. ft. refrigerated produce distribution facility here.

The solar system will nearly offset all of the facility’s electrical consumption as well as drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and further reduce the company’s carbon footprint. “SunFed has a deep commitment to the environment and a long history of taking strides to operate in the most sustainable way possible. It started more than ten years ago with our use of MA/MH packaging to eliminate waste in the supply chain. This is another critical step down the path of supplying the best fruits and vegetables in an environmentally-conscientious manner,” said Matt Mandel, VP of Sales & Marketing at SunFed.

The solar array is expected to produce over 620,000 kilowatt-hours annually, eliminating nearly 336 metric tons of carbon-equivalent emissions from the atmosphere. This equates to removing the carbon dioxide emissions of approximately 70 vehicles a year.
