LIGHTING WAREHOUSE IN MADERA, CALIFORNIA THE CHALLENGE BK Lighting is a world renowned outdoor illumination manufacturer, known for innovative and energy-efficient products. Unfortunately, its facility did not reflect those qualities; its old roof and antiquated solar power system resulting in high energy costs. Barrier was challenged to replace the roof and upgrade the solar system to reduce – or, ideally, eliminate – the client’s energy bills, without disrupting operations. THE PROCESS Barrier removed the aging roof and outdated solar system, and installed an energy-efficient cool roof and state-of-the-art solar powerhouse custom-designed and engineered to produce more than enough energy for the client’s operational needs. Additionally, we installed solar carports to enhance the system’s power while providing much-appreciated shaded parking. THE RESULT BK Lighting’s facility is now consistent with the company’s reputation for innovation and energy-efficiency, with leading-edge technologies in both its cool roof and solar energy system. More importantly, Barrier has enabled the client to produce enough power to virtually eliminate its reliance on the utility.[/fusion_text][fusion_testimonials design="classic" backgroundcolor="" textcolor="" random="" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id=""][fusion_testimonial name="Nathan Sloan" avatar="male" image="" image_border_radius="" company="BK Lighting " link="" target="_self"] “The Barrier team exceeded our expectations in every way, from their professionalism to the quality of their work and, of course, the energy savings are off the charts.

FRUIT PROCESSING FACILITY IN FRESNO, CALIFORNIA THE CHALLENGE Located in the heart of the world’s most productive agricultural region, it’s no surprise that Trinity Fruit Sales’ facility in Fresno, California, is one of the world’s largest fruit processing plants. When the client hired Barrier to install a cool roof and solar, their immense structure presented some king-sized challenges, including: working with PG&E on one of its first NEM2 projects, incorporating over 30 inverters into the solar design, and installing both the roof and the solar energy system without disrupting the processing operation. THE PROCESS A thorough analysis of the client’s energy and structural requirements enabled Barrier to custom-design a state-of-the-art cool roof and solar energy system. Despite the scope of the project (this project is the largest Solaredge installation on record), Barrier was able to replace the facility’s original roof with an energy-efficient cool roof and install a roof-mounted solar energy system with over 4,300 panels, without interfering with the client’s workflow. THE RESULT By ensuring our work met PG&E’s NEM2 requirements, Trinity Fruit Sales not only sees substantial savings on their electric bill, but receives credits to offset the cost of their energy usage. And because Barrier utilized over 30 Solaredge inverters in the design of the solar energy system, the client is able to see data at the panel level in real time.[/fusion_text][fusion_testimonials backgroundcolor="" textcolor="" class="" id=""][fusion_testimonial name="David White" avatar="male" image="" company="Trinity Fruit" link="" target="_self"]“The Barrier team understood that our business runs on data, from crop inputs to international trade figures to energy consumption.

And that’s no fabrication. RETAIL BUSINESS IN SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA THE CHALLENGE Located in a historic building constructed in the 1930s, Beverly Fabrics needed to make its store more energy-efficient and environmentally responsible, while preserving the vintage architecture and charm of its highly-visible location. This would require Barrier to work on a busy, one-way downtown street, craning panels onto the rooftop and ensuring that the store remained open throughout the three-month process. THE PROCESS Barrier addressed this project as an integrated roofing and solar energy project. By applying an Energy Star sprayed polyurethane foam Cool Roof, Barrier was able to install a solar system that was 10 percent smaller than would have been required with a less energy-efficient roof. With a roof solution in place, Barrier designed and installed a solar energy system using 456 Yingli rooftop solar panels and replaced the store’s antiquated electrical system, all with minimal impact on the traffic and without disrupting the store’s operation. THE RESULT Since switching to its Barrier solar system, Beverly Fabrics’ monthly electricity bill has been reduced to $0, and the store is completely energy-independent. Additionally, the project has decreased greenhouse gases while boosting the local economy.[/fusion_text][fusion_separator style_type="none" top_margin="20" bottom_margin="0" sep_color="" icon="" width="" class="" id=""/][fusion_testimonials backgroundcolor="" textcolor="" class="" id=""][fusion_testimonial name="Bob Sleeper" avatar="male" image="" company="Owner, Beverly Fabrics Inc." link="" target="_self"]“It was a big endeavor, but it was very well worth it.

FERTILIZER MANUFACTURER IN VISALIA, CALIFORNIA THE CHALLENGE Biagro Western Sales needed to make its fertilizer manufacturing operation more energy-efficient, while keeping its workplace cool and comfortable in the hot summers of California’s Central Valley. A solar energy system seemed to be the best solution and the plant went the extra mile and installed a distilled water system. THE PROCESS Barrier designed a system using 304 Yingli rooftop solar panels, painstakingly installed so as not to interfere with the day to day operations of the highly volatile fertilizer manufacturing plant. THE RESULT The impact of Barrier’s solar system was immediate and impressive, dramatically reducing the plant’s monthly electric bill while providing ample power for its manufacturing operation and keeping workers cool during the hot summer months. Additionally, the facility’s reduced carbon footprint demonstrates the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
