Akeena Solar Helps Lafitte Cork And Capsule Reach A Cleaner Finish
Los Gatos CA (SPX) Mar 18, 2008 Akeena Solar has announced the installation of an Akeena solar-panel system on Lafitte Cork and Capsule - USA's Napa Valley facility. The system currently generates all of the electrical energy onsite. "With several wine industry installations already under our belt, we were able to offer a knowledge base that's hard to find within the solar marketplace," said Barry Cinnamon, Akeena Solar CEO. "We've helped the wine industry across Northern California achieve its solar objectives and are dedicated to continuing those efforts." Akeena Solar completed its first wine industry installation in 2003 and has continued to serve the growing green initiatives of the wine industry, with four winery projects last quarter alone. Specializing in the design and installation of high-performance solar power systems, Akeena Solar serves small and medium size commercial and residential customers across the United States. Lafitte is the first cork producer in California to go solar. The installation of 262 solar panels will generate enough clean energy to eliminate the production of more than 1.4 million pounds of carbon dioxide, 1,305 pounds of nitrogen oxide and 384 pounds of sulfur dioxide over its 30-year life. The solar system can be monitored in real-time at the Lafitte Web site. "Akeena's long-standing commitment to providing solar to the wine industry coupled with its expertise in the field made the company a natural choice for us," said the President and General Manager of Lafitte David Hanson-Jerrard. "Converting to solar energy has long been a part of Lafitte's goal of lowering our impact on the planet and furthering our green philosophy. Akeena Solar's dedicated service, superior performance and business practice have helped make this installation a success." Related Links All About Solar Energy at SolarDaily.com
