Like most LOS ALTOS businesses, the site was paying high Peak rates of roughly $1.16 per kilowatt-hour and large Demand charges — the kind of bill structure that punishes daytime energy use and penalises the very hours commercial properties consume the most power.
SolarPorts evaluated their interval power usage (every 15 minutes) and proposed a right-sized 423 kW solar system for on-site generation delivered as 12 SolarPort carport structures above the parking lot and a rooftop array on the building.
The system now produces roughly 950,041 AC kWh of clean energy each year, an estimated $442,700 in year-one utility offsets, and around $33,015,000 in net lifetime savings — turning a recurring operating-cost into a long-term, predictable energy hedge.
