FOWLER, CA - Jim Marderosian, President of Bee Sweet Citrus, confirmed today that the company is going solar.
“Bee Sweet Citrus is committed to reducing our carbon footprint,” said Marderosian. “Logically, going solar was the next step as we continue to be a leader in sustainability.”
Picket Solar, a Fresno, California-based company, will facilitate Bee Sweet’s energy shift and will install a high-tech, 2.4 Megawatt solar system to offset the company’s current use of electricity.
“Bee Sweet Citrus is a leader in the citrus industry, and reducing our carbon footprint is one of our main priorities,” said Marderosian. “It is our goal to not only provide the world with fresh, delicious citrus, but to be an environmental steward as well.”
Water conservation, the use of electric forklifts, and utilizing recyclable packaging materials are just some of the many other ways Bee Sweet Citrus has continued to practice environmental sustainability, according to a press release. This new solar system is the next step forward in the company’s efforts to be a high-yielding, environmentally-conscious agribusiness.
