Eco-Friendly Avocado Farm Goes Solar with SunPower by Green Convergence
Fillmore, California (PRWEB) July 10, 2017 -- Located along the scenic California 126 highway, 2B Green Farms is a hidden avocado paradise and the epitome of an eco-friendly business. Owners Eric Bartolotto and Patti Breyfogle are committed to growing their products in the most environmentally friendly and energy efficient way possible.
“We’re using solar to run everything from an energy efficiency standpoint,” said Eric Bartolotto, owner of 2B Green Farms.
Pleased with their solar experience at their previous home, Eric and Patti were convinced that their farm needed to be powered with solar energy when they acquired the property a few years ago. Seeking an installer that could bring craftsman-level skills to the restoration of their home’s roof as well as install a pristine solar system, they chose SunPower by Green Convergence, a solar installer and roofing contractor based in Valencia, California. Providing both residential and commercial services, SunPower by Green Convergence is a SunPower master dealer, selected for its quality workmanship and superior customer service to represent the globally trusted brand.
“We needed someone that could take the time to plan things out and be thorough,” said Eric Bartolotto.
The Green Convergence team was committed to working with the owners throughout the entire process and accommodating necessary changes to the complicated project. The final product was a renovated roof and restoration of their midcentury modern house to its architectural beauty, as well as a reliable rooftop solar installation that meets the energy needs of both the owners’ home and the orchard. Meanwhile, the farm owners built a friendship with their project manager and president of the company, DJ Schramm.
“As the working relationship grew so did a strong feeling of friendship and trust,” said DJ Schramm, President of SunPower by Green Convergence and an experienced roofing contractor. “We worked through many obstacles together. It was truly a collaboration and we learned a lot in the process.”
“Going solar was a really key part of our business plan,” Eric Bartolotto emphasized.
Most of the 2B Green Farms business depends on energy. Avocados are a sub-tropical fruit, and in the arid climate of Southern California irrigation is essential. Now, the farm’s irrigation and water pumping is driven by solar energy.
SunPower by Green Convergence customers get the highest performing, most reliable, and powerfully simple technology commercially available today. 2B Green Farm’s solar system is expected to reduce the farm’s energy consumption to zero, allowing the business to better compete in the agriculture industry. It also enables 2B Green Farms to limit its carbon footprint and become more energy efficient, giving it more resources to expand its business and incorporate new growing technologies, like aquaponics. The owners are proud of the farm’s new solar installation and look forward to powering their future projects with solar energy.
“For a business, it almost automatically makes sense [to go solar] because in addition to the tax benefits, there’s also other business savings,” said Patti Breyfogle. “My advice to any business considering going solar is to go solar!”
SunPower by Green Convergence is proud to partner with a business that cares for the environment, as well as help produce some of the best California avocados out there. DJ Schramm said, “We are offering naturally grown solar-powered 2B Green Farms avocados to our clients, friends, and employees, and they are a huge hit! We hope to help grow their business through ours.”
