Sonoma self storage business touted as powerful example for cutting emissions

A new self-storage facility with a solar electric system that will offset 116 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually — equivalent to taking 25 cars off the road — has opened in the city of Sonoma.

Vineburg Wine & Self Storage on Napa Road installed 298 high-efficiency 380 kW solar panels on the roof in a project with SolarCraft, a local Sonoma County contractor, financed through the Sonoma County Energy Independence Program.
