East Bay Business Times

Meyer Corp. of Vallejo has completed installation of a 580 kilowatt solar power system that it says is the largest in Solano County.

Meyer said the system, which was designed by Berkeley-based Powerlight Corp., a subsidiary of San Jose-based SunPower Corp., will reduce the company's power consumption by 60 percent.

The system covers 51,000 square feet of rooftop on the company's headquarters.

The company said its use of solar power over the next 30 will reduce emissions of carbon dioxide by more than 7,000 tons.

Meyer is a manufacturer of cookware and kitchen products.
