Cold Storage Warehousing

Cold storage facilities require large, energy-intensive equipment and massive amounts of energy to maintain operations. That makes a transition to solar a must-have for ensuring profitability and sustainability over the long-term.

REC Solar for Solar and Storage Solutions

Lower energy costs

24-hour refrigeration technology requires round-the-clock energy consumption. And with rising utility rates – and even more increases on the horizon – that isn’t great for your bottom line. We have experience in the cold storage warehousing industry and have helped customers deploy the solar and storage system that pencils and slashes energy costs.

Seamless Financing and Solar Expertise

By managing every aspect of your project — from no-capital-required financing and expert design to construction and installation to long-term operations and maintenance — you’ll receive a long-term and better value than self-owning and operating your own energy assets.

Better Meet Electrification Requirements

To better meet a growing number of fleet electrification requirements, now’s the time to consider bundling solar and fleet electrification. You can offset energy charging costs, get a comprehensive, future-proof business sustainability plan and get a streamlined project with minimized disruptions to your operations.

Solar is the right fit for you?

Solar and storage isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. How it will best benefit your business depends on your facility’s unique characteristics, sustainability goals and business needs.

Solar + storage is a great opportunity for cold storage and warehouse facilities that:

  • Have large energy load requirements 
  • Own unobstructed roof space (for rooftop solar) or unobstructed land nearby (for ground-mount solar) 
  • Operate in states – like California and Hawai’i – where energy is expensive 

Additionally, your operations may also be a great fit for solar + storage if you:

  • Are considering – or may consider — facility expansions or new construction in the future (particularly in states that have renewable energy mandates on new construction) 
  • May be considering fleet electrification
  • Want to ensure you meet current and future sustainability initiatives and goals

On-Site Solar

Rooftop

Rooftop solar can be an ideal fit for cold storage warehouses that have substantial rooftop space. Our team is experienced in commercial rooftop installation and will design a custom solar array that utilizes unused space and maximizes energy generation.

Ground Mount

If your business has undeveloped land, a fixed-mount or tracker PV system can be a good fit to help you reach your goals. Ground mount solar panels can be designed to optimize available land allowing for peak solar production.

Solar Carports and Canopies

For many cold storage warehouses, parking lots provide an opportunity to not only add onsite solar power generation but also provide vehicle fleets, employees and guests with ample shade on sunny days and protection from inclement weather.

Energy Storage

Get the most from your investment by efficiently managing surplus power from your solar arrays. We’ll design an energy storage solution that maximizes your solar investment and safeguards your budget from energy cost fluctuations.
