SunPower awarded Californian firm Vista Solar as its Commercial Regional Top Producer of the Year for outstanding sales performance as a SunPower dealer in 2013. The award honors the SunPower commercial dealer that has the highest shipment volume in their region of the US which includes more than 1,800 dealers worldwide, with approximately 400 located in the US.
In 2013, Vista Solar installed the largest privately owned commercial solar power system in Fremont, California. The 920-kW rooftop installation features the SunPower E Series solar panels with an efficiency of 20%. Using such high-efficiency panels allowed the building owner to maximize underutilized roof space by installing solar, and see electricity savings of nearly $250,000 in the first year. The system is expected to generate savings of more than $7 million over its 25-year lifetime.
"Vista Solar is honored to receive the 2013 Commercial Regional Top Producer of the Year award from SunPower for our success delivering the world’s highest efficiency solar systems and superior customer service to business owners," said Jaymes Callinan, Vce President of Vista Solar. "Partnering with SunPower, a leading solar technology and global energy services provider, allows us to offer our customers reliable solar energy and electricity savings over the life of their systems."
