About this Project

Suncast Corporation, the market-leading manufacturer of high-quality resin products made in the U.S.A., partnered with Solar One to deploy solar array panels to help power its Batavia, Illinois operations.

The company has already installed solar power at one-third of its manufacturing locations. By the end of 2022, all Suncast manufacturing facilities will be partially solar powered and the company’s West Chicago distribution centers 1.5 million square feet will operate using 100% self-generated solar power. This project will generate more than 14 million kilowatts of clean energy and save millions of pounds of carbon emissions.

“At Suncast, we are always looking toward the horizon for improving our processes, products, and environment to create meaningful impact,” said Jim Ahlborn, president and CEO of Suncast Corporation. “As a company with “sun” in its name, it’s only fitting that we harness the power of the sun for good. Renewable energy is key to our sustainability strategy and this solar milestone is the first of many to come.
