Onyx is the owner and acting utility for the 1.1MW solar PV and 1000kWh battery storage project
Onyx completed the installment of a 1.1MW solar and 1MWh storage solution for a major biotech company in Northern California in 2022. This project supplies a PV+Storage integrated solution to reduce power costs and manage the facility's peak energy demand.
Onyx managed oversight of construction at the facility, inclusive of utilizing a large crane pic consisting of (6) 8-hour days of weekend work to accommodate for the facility's production areas and production schedules.
Onyx complied and reported as required with all Safety OSCHA and CDC compliance regulations to maintain a construction schedule during the 2020 COVID Pandemic.
The 1.1MW solar PV and 250kW / 1000kWh battery storage system supports the facility's LEED GOLD Status while providing for a sustainable, uninterrupted power supply for the company's production and manufacturing lines.
The solar + storage project allows for net metering at the facility within PG&E utility territory in Northern California.
Onyx supported the facility's initiative of obtaining LEED GOLD Status, qualifying renewables on site that provided a 5% offset to total energy costs.
