Solar Power will design and construct the solar system that will include a mix of rooftop racking and parking shade structures on which 1,776 solar modules will be mounted.

Once completed, the solar system will produce more than 576,000kWh of electricity and deliver more than $128,000 in savings during its first year of operation. The system will reduce the electrical utility costs of operating the FRTS by more than $4.24m over 25 years, Solar Power said.

Shawn Guttersen, vice president of BLT, said: “We are very pleased to be adding this solar system to our Fremont operation. It is a complement to our core values and mission to provide the means for environmentally responsible recycling and disposal of waste materials produced by communities across California.”
