Santa Maria, CA – February 1, 2024 – Bonipak Produce, a leading provider of fresh produce, proudly announces the successful completion of its state-of-the-art solar canopy project.

Key Project Highlights:
- Solar Power Production: The solar canopy features 6,640 solar panels, collectively generating 2.1 megawatts of clean energy. This significant output is equivalent to the power needed for approximately 1,500 homes, contributing to a substantial reduction in carbon footprint.

- Environmental Impact: The solar canopy diverts 2,268 metric tons of CO2 annually, equivalent to the emissions from 505 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for a year.
- Durability and Longevity: With a lifespan of 20 years, the solar panels demonstrate not only their immediate impact but also their long-term durability, providing sustained benefits for years to come.
