The company deployed a 251 kilowatt photovoltaic system at its District 10 in Stockton. The photovoltaic installation was built under a power-purchase agreement with SunEdison. Under the agreement, Caltrans benefits from solar energy with no upfront cost and saves an estimated $1.76 million in capital installation.
