Retro meets renewable.
In Los Gatos, Cinnamon Energy Systems had a vision for its 1950s-era headquarters: to demonstrate that raising the building’s energy efficiency was better than simply razing the building.
They reengineered their headquarters with electrification, storage, EV charging, and a rooftop commercial solar system powered by Enphase IQ8P-3P Microinverters. Today, the building offsets 75% of its annual energy use while delivering $26K in yearly savings — with more upside as utility rates rise.
Barry Cinnamon, CEO of Cinnamon Energy Systems, put it simply: “We have never installed a commercial system that was commissioned so flawlessly and quickly.”
