The solar brokerage's latest service expansion is targeted at this high-consumption industry with the goal of helping owners of Modesto plants and facilities make the switch to solar. By connecting clients with industrial solar installation and maintenance service providers, the brokerage encourages such businesses to generate their own supply of clean energy and adopt more efficient and eco-friendly food processing management systems.
Gradient Solar System explains that by installing a solar system, food packing and processing plants can increase their overall cost efficiency and successfully address the constantly rising energy costs of storing and shipping produce from farms to grocery stores. Moreover, consumer interest in sustainable business practices has considerably increased in the past years: according to study conducted by First Insight and the Baker Retailing Center at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, nearly 90% of Gen X-age consumers would be willing to spend an extra 10% on sustainable products, compared to only 37% in 2020.
"The process of moving food from the farm to the table is very energy-intensive", a spokesperson for the brokerage explained. "According to the NRDC, it consumes up to 10 percent of the total United States' energy budget."
This rate of energy consumption only increases in food processing facilities with cold storage, such as those with industrial-size freezers. Gradient's experienced solar advisors can evaluate energy consumption and production capacity at cold storage and food processing facilities in order to recommend optimal systems to owners and managers.
In addition to sourcing and liaising with local solar firms, its team can offer guidance on choosing between the different types of systems, including silicon panels, flexible panels, and thin-film solar modules. The company will leverage its influence and reach to get the most competitive installation prices on behalf of its clients.
By partnering with Gradient on their solar energy installation projects, food processing plants can access an affordable way to reduce their carbon footprint and overheads. In addition to protecting the environment by opting for cleaner energy production methods, processing facilities can complement their business strategy by using solar as a source of additional income, since excess energy can be sold back to the power grid or used as part of a community program.
