Utility savings for cold storage
Cold storage solar targets the two lines that hurt refrigerated operators: energy consumption (kWh) and demand charges (peak kW). High-output commercial arrays maximize production per square foot of freezer roof space.
ROI example
A 200,000 sq ft facility with $22,000/month SCE spend might offset 60–75% of usage with a 500 kW+ system—six-figure annual savings with 30% ITC and MACRS.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is cold storage ideal for solar?+
Refrigeration compressors create high, predictable daytime demand that aligns with solar production—reducing both energy and demand charge components on SCE commercial tariffs.
What ROI should refrigerated warehouses expect?+
Facilities with $15,000+/month utility spend often see 3–5 year payback after ITC and depreciation, faster when demand charges dominate the bill.
Can batteries help cold storage facilities?+
Yes—battery peak shaving reduces demand spikes during compressor staging and provides backup for critical temperature zones.
