Stefano's Pizza

012

Stefano’s owner Bob Valentino made the decision to make the switch to solar to eliminate his energy costs and reduce his environmental impact. We designed and installed a 26.5 kw system to completely offset his energy costs, which included nearly $1000/month PG&E charges. After installing their solar system, Stefano’s was named a Marin Green Business.

In the Marin community, there is a strong importance placed on sustainable and environmentally-conscious business practices. Stefanos has made their decision to use Solar a part of their brand identity and now proudly call themselves Stefano’s Solar Powered Pizza.

They are favorite in the community and a great example of how a business can use Solar to save money, help the environment and market their business.

“Before installing the solar panels in mid-2004, Stefano’s was paying $1000 per month on electricity.  After the panels were installed, the bill dropped to $7 per month and I should be able to recoup my investment within 8 years.  There are no moving parts, no noise, no greenhouse gas emissions and very little maintenance.  It’s the best business decision I ever made and I’m proud to be the only solar-powered pizzeria in the country.”  – Bob Valentino, Owner
