Solar Power for Warehouses: Colorblends’ Bright Solution

In 2018, Colorblends, a third-generation wholesale flower bulb merchant based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, transformed its warehouse into a model of energy efficiency and sustainability. By installing a 30-kilowatt solar system and upgrading to LED lighting, the company has drastically reduced its carbon footprint and energy costs.

Why Solar Makes Sense for Warehouses

Warehouses consume significant electricity, but solar energy provides an efficient and cost-saving solution. For Colorblends, the switch to solar means:

  1. 100% Energy Offset: The solar system generates all the electricity needed for their 23,000-square-foot office and warehouse.

  2. Natural Daylight Integration: Two monitor windows with pitched roofs facing south provide ideal conditions for solar panels.

  3. Efficient Lighting: An LED lighting upgrade reduced lighting-related electricity use by 65%.​​​
