The installation of solar panels on the roof of Magnaplate’s Ventura, California facility has helped us become even more ‘green’.  Electrical consumption has been cut by 55-100% depending on the month of the year and available daylight.  In addition, energy from the panels being fed back into the grid on weekends as well as before and after working hours has enabled the Ventura plant to be billed at about a 55% lower rate.  This will provide several thousand dollars in savings each year for the facility and help the environment at the same time.
