After completing their Glendale, AZ flagship solar project in 2023, Cavco Industries reunites with Solar One for three additional solar projects aimed at steadying rising energy costs.
Sherman, TX – April 22, 2025 – Solar One, a Texas-based leader in commercial and industrial solar energy solutions, is proud to announce its ongoing relationship with Cavco Industries, one of the nation’s top producers of affordable manufactured homes. Together, the companies are reducing energy costs and increasing long-term value through large-scale solar installations at Cavco’s manufacturing facilities.
After evaluating several providers, Cavco selected Solar One for its unique experience in the manufactured housing sector, national project capabilities, and strong record of reliability and professionalism. The most recent Cavco initiative was to build 887kW parking canopy solar arrays to produce almost 1,164,350 kW/hours of electricity each year, offsetting three of Cavco’s plants’ annual power consumption between 35% to 100% at the selected facilities. These solar projects—built in Deming, New Mexico; Emlenton, Pennsylvania; and Shippenville, Pennsylvania—have many similarities to the first project Solar One completed for Cavco in 2023, the groundbreaking Cavco Park Models and Cabins manufacturing facility in Glendale, Arizona.
“Our flagship project for Cavco in Glendale, Arizona alone has generated over 2.35 gigawatt-hours in just 18 months. That’s the equivalent of powering 216 average U.S. homes for a year,” said Aaron Wilson, CEO of Solar One. “By locking in energy rates and reducing operational costs, Cavco can focus on what they do best—providing exceptional quality homes at prices more families can afford.”
“With rising utility costs impacting every industry, investing in solar has helped us stabilize a key part of our manufacturing expenses,” said Steve Like, Senior Vice President at Cavco Industries, echoing the value of the relationship. “That stability allows us to pass savings directly on to our homebuyers while continuing to invest in long-term sustainability. With our focus on making things better for the communities where we build, going to solar also helps us do our part to reduce emissions and our environmental impact.”
Solar One continues to work with trusted industry partner SolarEdge to deliver innovative solutions for solar system energy inverters, power optimizers, and monitoring systems for all projects. One pioneering feature built within the power optimizers is the SolarEdge Sense Connect, which allows continuous monitoring to detect any performance issues or connector-level wear and tear. This future-forward safety technology ensures the longevity of solar systems installed by Solar One in a variety of climates around the U.S.
With the path ahead full of potential, Solar One remains committed to helping Cavco—and other forward-thinking manufacturers—build a more resilient and cost-effective energy future.
