Case Study: Commercial Solar PPA at John Muir Health

John Muir Health partnered with SCF to install a rooftop solar array on its Walnut Creek Medical Center parking garage. This Commercial Solar PPA will generate roughly 580,000 kilowatt-hours of clean power annually.

As a result, the health system expects to save over $1.4 million in electricity costs over the project’s lifetime.

Beyond financial savings, the installation supports greenhouse gas reduction goals set by the City of Walnut Creek and the State of California. It’s a model for how energy-conscious healthcare providers can lead by example.
