We’re proud to spotlight an amazing solar energy project at the Mesa Market in Mesa, Arizona. This installation brings clean energy, practical amenities, and long-term savings to one of the area’s most popular destinations.

This 72.45 kW system features high-efficiency REC solar panels and reliable SMA inverters, delivering dependable performance across two large shade structures. Beyond producing power, these structures offer shaded parking for employees and guests, along with integrated golf cart charging—enhancing convenience and comfort on-site.

With an annual energy output of over 119,000 kilowatt-hours, the system is expected to save the Mesa Market more than $13,000 every year in electricity costs. Environmentally, it offsets the CO₂ emissions equivalent to burning over 92,000 pounds of coal annually.

It’s a shining example of how smart energy investments—powered by industry-leading technology—can deliver meaningful financial and environmental returns.

Kyle Ritland - Marketing

After working in technology marketing throughout the Pacific Northwest and Silicon Valley for more than 20 years, Kyle opted to follow his heart and focus his talents in solar energy.

As the head of Marketing at Sun Valley Solar Solutions, Kyle works hard to demystify the ever-changing solar landscape in Arizona and across the country. He especially enjoys helping people separate fact from fiction by presenting solar transparently and accurately, rather than relying on hype or deceptive marketing tactics that are far too common with some solar companies.

When not touting the benefits of solar, encouraging his friends to opt for paper over plastic, or growing his own vegetables, Kyle is generally found hiking with his pointer Bravo or preparing a home-cooked meal for friends.

“If you truly understand how solar works it’s easy to see through the gimmicks. The opportunity for savings is very real when you have the correct information”
