Rooftop Solar Installation – Walters Wholesale Electric

Turnkey Project Delivers Nearly 500,000 kWh of Clean Energy Annually to Brea, CA Facility

Walters Wholesale Electric was looking for an installation partner for a solar project to provide clean energy to Brea, CA’s 257K square-foot facility. Ally Energy Solutions designed a turnkey rooftop project that generates 492,735 kWh of electricity annually, reducing annual CO2e by 471,789 lbs.

Tariff Analysis Combined with Tax Asset Optimization

Ally funding optimization experts developed the project size and scope to maximize tax benefits and determine cost savings related to tariff adjustments. The solar plant is connected to the largest of three meters serving the facility and provides 55% of the electricity requirements for the meter’s service area. Attaching the project to this meter resulted in a tariff pricing category shift that resulted in a 16% decrease in purchased energy costs. Meanwhile, the project qualified for the 30% federal investment tax credit, in addition to state and federal accelerated depreciation for the solar panels.

After years of collaboration and many completed projects, Ally was honored to be selected as the design and implementation partner for the rooftop solar project at Walters’ flagship facility. This project helps Walters meet their ongoing sustainability goals, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to be a part of that effort. -Ray Pustinger, Ally CEO

“We were very happy that the project was delivered as advertised. No delays. No cost overruns, and safety was prioritized. Good communication throughout.”
