Projects deliver millions in long-term energy savings while enhancing tenant experience and advancing sustainability goals
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Luminia, a leader in distributed energy development in California, has completed two solar carport installations totaling 918 kilowatts of clean, reliable energy for Gables Residential, a leading multifamily property owner.
The projects are Gables Oak Creek (461.7 kW), a 148-unit three-story community built in 2005 in Wildomar and Gables Alta Murrieta (456.3 kW), a 148-unit two-story community built in 1989 in Murrieta.
Luminia installed new, solar-integrated parking canopies to help offset the communities' and residents' electricity costs and reduce their exposure to rising utility rates. Gables Residential's investment in solar also enhanced the communities with new, solar-integrated carports providing shade and comfort to residents with vehicles.
"These projects underscore the growing value of renewable energy for property owners," said David Field, CEO of Luminia. "We're not just generating clean power—we're solving real business challenges. By replacing aging carports with modern solar-integrated structures, we reduced Gables' energy expenses, improved the resident experience and enhanced the long-term value of the assets."
The Gables Oak Creek project overcame typical interconnection and EV charger placement challenges due to the engineering solutions from Luminia. The Gables Alta Murrieta project required expert navigation of complex conformance permitting and close coordination with the local utility company
The successful delivery of the Oak Creek and Alta Murrieta projects are the latest examples of delivery on Luminia's broader strategy to accelerate renewable energy adoption, focused on hyper-local, distributed solar and storage solutions. Both projects were delivered in partnership with Cal Solar and are now fully operational, serving as replicable case studies for large property portfolios seeking measurable ESG and financial outcomes.
