SPG Solar Expands Operations Into Arizona

April 13, 2009

Completes State's Largest Rooftop Solar Installation TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SPG Solar, Inc., recently completed Arizona's largest rooftop solar project for one of the world's largest beverage distributors. The 500 kWp solar system was installed at a distribution center in Tolleson, Ariz., to optimize a generous utility rebate, reduce electrical costs and meet the client's environmental stewardship goals. The completion of the system sparked interest and brought opportunity in the Arizona solar market, leading SPG Solar to establish a permanent operating facility in Tucson, Ariz., in March. SPG Solar's expansion into Arizona follows the trend of continued growth of the company since being founded in Northern California in 2001. SPG Solar also completed a project for the Wilson School District in Phoenix, Ariz., and is breaking ground on seven new projects for the City of Tucson that will combine to deliver nearly 1 megawatt of clean, renewable energy to the city. "SPG Solar believes in fostering sustainable practices that not only benefit the environment but the communities in which we live and work," says Dan Thompson, President and CEO of SPG Solar. "Our recent projects and expansion in to Arizona will continue to create jobs and further those practices."
