TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR ENERGY EXPENSES

Manufacturing/Industrial

To remove limits from your company’s growth you want a solar system that scales along with your business and removes energy expenses as a cost concern. HES Solar has been a San Diego industry leader since 2001 and has designed and installed some of the largest commercial energy projects in Southern California. With HES Solar your business will experience expert service and will own a superior quality powerplant that will deliver the electricity you need to grow your business for decades.

It is no secret that manufacturing facilities can experience some of the highest overhead in the commercial industry. The largest expense typically seen by manufacturers is energy. Over the years many companies throughout Southern California have identified solar power as the perfect way to reduce operating costs. These companies today hold a key competitive edge in costs as well as public perception.

There are strong incentives outside of long-term energy cost reduction and stabilization. Let us show you not only how the Investment Tax Credit’s (ITC) 30% credit and the Self Generation Investment Program (SGIP) rebate can offer more financial benefits, but also why pairing solar system construction with other property improvements can increase your rewards, and how a solar system offers quickly-realized tax benefits.

It’s clear that solar makes sense for factories and manufacturing properties, but it’s also worth considering that the typical manufacturer’s building design provides a very favorable space for a commercial solar system. A large, flat roof with ample space for solar panels allows for a very efficient design and build, and allows component options not always optimal when space is not so abundant. If you don’t already have a solar panel array on your commercial property you are not taking advantage of the full value of your investment.

Some of our Manufacturing/Industrial industry solar projects include:

  • Creative Electron
  • Bio Film
  • Magnaflow
  • ICE 2

IMPORTANT COMPANY INFORMATION​

HES SOLAR REMAINS OPEN FOR SERVICE

The residential-only entity HES Solar has redefined its scope and has narrowed its focus to home solar service and home battery service. The impact of 2023 California regulations to home solar projects has required this company truncation; we regret the elimination of new home energy installations from our offerings. HES Solar now concentrates on supporting existing systems with maintenance and repair services for HES Solar and non-HES Solar systems and remains available for workmanship warranty work on qualified HES Solar systems. 

For commercial solar and commercial energy storage design, installation, service, and O&M offerings, please visit the HES Renewables website hesrenewables.com

A note on the state of California residential solar: The residential solar industry has faced significant financial hurdles in the last few years as a direct result of hostile policy, most notably NEM 3.0. Our primary trade partner, SunPower, went into Chapter 11 in August, 2024, and a majority of other solar companies, large and small, have been forced to close, leave California, or restructure. We are glad to remain available as a home energy service group to support our customers and provide maintenance and repair for home systems that have been orphaned by other company closures. 

We recognize your frustration with this news and never intended for our beloved 24-year-old residential solar business to curtail its offerings.
