AGRICULTURAL PROPERTY IN MADERA, CALIFORNIA THE CHALLENGE Quad 7 charged Barrier with the task of designing a solar energy system that could be mounted on agricultural land that was being used as a water retention reservoir, in order to use the fallow ground as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. THE PROCESS After careful examination of the reservoir land as well as anticipated runoff based on seasonal records over time, Barrier designed and engineered a solution that met the client’s challenge. The raised, ground-mounted solar array was installed in the reservoir at a height that keeps the panels well above the potential high-water mark, enabling the property to be productive year-round. THE RESULT Quad 7 is now able to maximize the value of their fallow land by collecting water from rain and runoff, while simultaneously harvesting energy from the sun.[/fusion_text][fusion_testimonials design="classic" backgroundcolor="" textcolor="" random="" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id=""][fusion_testimonial name="Brian Richburg" avatar="male" image="" image_border_radius="" company="Quad 7" link="" target="_self"] “We had this idea we’d never seen before, so we called the one solar company that had a reputation for embracing innovation: Barrier.

FARMING OPERATION IN DOS PALOS, CALIFORNIA THE CHALLENGE Teixeira & Sons wanted to install a large-scale solar energy system for its farming operation, but had only 90 days to have the project designed, installed and completed in order to meet the deadline for a 2014 federal tax credit. THE PROCESS Barrier met with Teixeira representatives and agreed to design, install and deliver a 1.2 megawatt solar system to meet the aggressive deadline. In the end, Barrier beat the deadline by 30 days, actually completing the project and having it fully operational in 60 days. THE RESULT The solar system’s impact was immediate, dramatically reducing operation’s monthly electric bill while providing ample power to support the farm’s needs. The solar project also reduced the facility’s reduced carbon footprint, demonstrating the firm’s commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable farming.

Westside Produce is responsible for moving thousands of pounds of melon from hot fields to cool storage using elaborate computer-controlled cooling tunnels. This high-tech operation requires proper temperature zones, and maintaining those zones requires massive amounts of energy. THE PROCESS Designed & installed a one megawatt, ground-mounted solar electric system THE RESULT Taking advantage of a large piece of property adjacent to the cooling facility, Barrier designed and installed a ground-mounted solar electric system that includes more than 3,400 solar panels and generates more than 1.6 million kilowatt hours of power annually. That much power is enough to keep the cooling facility’s 16 tunnels at just the proper chill level, seamlessly cooling the valuable commodity as it comes in from the fields and allowing for temperature-controlled storage.

That’s vintage Barrier. CLINE CELLARS, SONOMA, CA THE CHALLENGE Cline Cellars is located in one of the windiest regions of California and needed its roof and wine tanks insulated, the roof replaced and a solar energy system installed. To apply coatings in the wind, Barrier innovated a stand-alone “spray booth” on site in which 3 wine tanks at a time would be insulated while shielded from the wind. In addition to insulating the wine tanks, Barrier needed to waterproof and insulate the roof, a task complicated by the 300 mounting brackets required for the solar energy system. Barrier teamed up with SolarCraft on this installation. THE PROCESS Tank — 4” polyfoam 45 mils polyurea basecoat 22 mils urethane top coat THE RESULT Barrier applied 4” of polyurethane foam insulation to each wine tank with no impact from the wind, installed and sealed hundreds of mounting brackets and applied insulation to the facility’s roof as well. Finally, the photovoltaic solar energy panels were installed on the roof for maximum efficiency. [fusion_testimonials backgroundcolor="" textcolor="" class="" id=""][fusion_testimonial name="Peggy Phelan" avatar="male" image="" company="Director of Operations, Cline Cellars" link="" target="_self"]“I used Barrier for tank insulation and foam roofing, and the job needed to be perfect and tidy. It was a hard job and Barrier did a great job – they were reliable, punctual and provided good service. The foam roof has changed the whole feeling of the wine storage and we’ve experienced energy savings, too. Having the foam coating installed is a smart, energy-efficient thing to do.”[/fusion_testimonial][/fusion_testimonials] [fusion_separator style_type="none" top_margin="40" bottom_margin="0" sep_color="" icon="" width="" class="" id=""/][fusion_text] Facility Type: Wine processing and storage facility Number of Panels: 304 Square Footage: 60,000 sq. ft.
