SunWest Fruit Company

PROJECT OVERVIEW

At the height of the summer season, fruit packinghouses run multiple shifts from dawn-to-midnight. They demand huge amounts of electricity and that can give executives sleepless nights. That was the situation for Martin Britz, President, and Dean Thonesen, Vice President, of SunWest Fruit Company in Parlier, California.

THE RESULTS

Britz reported that SunWest is already seeing great results from their investment. “We are already seeing the benefits of solar each month on the electric bills. In fact, we were so happy with the results and the savings that we are adding a 2-megawatt project that will add 6,360 more solar panels. This will bring our total offset of electricity to 72% and will be one of the largest privately owned systems in the Valley.”

The competition is fierce when it comes to solar installation. National selected Pickett Solar, and Pickett Solar did not disappoint. They get it done. I would absolutely recommend Pickett Solar for any solar project.

Pickett Solar did a 1.1 megawatt solar array right next to our dairy … and they were willing to adapt their proposal to what I wanted as a customer. I’d recommend Pickett Solar because they stand behind what they say.

I have two solar systems that are seven and eight years old. Although there are many companies in the solar business, I went with Pickett because they are a second generation, local family owned business. They have a great reputation for honesty, fairness and quality workmanship. I would definitely recommend Pickett Solar.

— Gary Shahbazian DVM | Palm Bluff Veterinary Hospital

I selected Pickett Solar because of their reputation. I was also impressed with the time and effort they put into the proposed design. Pickett Solar’s team was professional and completed the project with minimal disruption to golfers.
