Consulting Projects

Sunnyland Mills was the first company in the U.S. to utilize solar power to make bulgur, having installed a solar generation system in 1985. In 2007, they added to their solar electricity capabilities with a ground mount, fixed tilt system.

“Sunnyland started using the sun to dry wheat for bulgur. We are going back to our roots by utilizing the energy of the sun to produce our products. HelioPower is our consultant and contractor for the project,” said Mike Orlando, Chairman of the Board, Sunnyland Mills, Fresno, CA.

HelioPower installed over 500 Mitsubishi panels in 5 days. Since the Sunnyland system was commissioned in 2007, it has produced 102% of expected energy. Sunnyland’s commitment to the environment includes solar power generation, waste water treatment, dust control and encouragement of environmentally-friendly farming practices.
