SolarCity advised that it had completed its 295kW solar installation for Bayer Healthcare in Berkeley, California, which will help power Bayer’s manufacturing facilities. SolarCity was responsible for the financing, design and installation of the project and will oversee its maintenance and monitoring.

“Bayer Berkeley Sustainability Council is continually exploring viable technologies to reduce its carbon footprint in the Berkeley community, and solar electricity has proven to be a valuable asset,” said Ron Roberts, Principal Engineer at Bayer Healthcare. “Our employees will also benefit from the creative installation of the panels: Rather than locate them on the roof, we chose integration of solar panels into a car canopy system that provides an added benefit of shade for employee vehicles.”
