Vision Systems is an innovative architectural design firm. They understand all the facets of commercial building design and management and are well versed on the benefits of commercial solar, including energy cost savings and control.
HES Solar designed and installed a commercial solar system for Vision System in 2018. After that time the company saw rapid and impressive growth. With that company expansion, Vision Systems had a need for a larger solar system. Vision Systems turned again to HES Solar.
Incorporating the available roof space of an on-site storage structure (lower right in photos), HES Solar seamlessly incorporated SunPower components into the existing system. The new panel array increased output by 158.4kW. This size upgrade enabled further energy cost control and savings and supports additional, future company growth.
The precision build of this system expansion showcases HES Solar’s commitment to excellence; the aesthetics of the system are especially appreciated by Vision Systems, a company that designs landmark buildings that help define their regions.
Vision Systems specializes in aluminum glazing. Vision Systems uses this visual emphasis on the environment’s sunlight to enhance the beauty of their designs. It was a natural step for a company so devoted to the beauty of sunlight to also value the energy-production potential of the earth’s strongest resource.
“One great thing about this project is that we designed the array using SunPower’s next generation panel, the A-series, using the highest-efficiency, larger cell type. What’s especially unique about this system is that the array incorporates a tilt-up layout installed on a storage structure; that makes it pretty different from the typical commercial system. We maximized all of the available roof area so it is covered, basically, entirely with panels.“

HES Solar places safety as our highest priority, and that extends from our employees to our customers, to anyone else we may potentially be in contact with through the course of business. Along with the safety procedures we adhere to in the normal course of our work and projects, we have instituted several safety protocols for all of our employees during these times of vigilant public health precautions due to COVID-19.
Our employees are given temperature checks each time they enter the office, and office visits are only allowed when necessary.
We’ve instituted remote working for all of our employees who are able to perform their job duties at home. Meetings are done through virtual meeting rooms.
Field employees maintain a six-foot distance between themselves and fellow employees, customers, vendors, and all others unless unavoidable.
Masks are required whenever interacting with fellow employees, customers, or the public and whenever social distancing is not possible.
To ensure these procedures can be met, employees have been provided with face masks or face coverings, eye protection, gloves (as necessary), and foot coverings (as necessary).
To help ensure frequent sanitizing, employees have been provided sanitizers in the form of gel, liquid, and wipes, antibacterial soap, and paper products for cleaning such as tissues and paper towels.
