Holland Dairy

Holland Dairy owner Art De Hoop has always valued quality and integrity. He knew once the electricity bills became too high, it was time to install solar. Powering 750 acres, Coldwell Energy has provided Holland Dairy the solar energy system they needed to be sustainable and successful for many years to come.

Case Studies
For Art De Hoop, owner of Holland Dairy in California’s Central Valley, investing in solar energy came down to a matter of values. Since completion of the project in December 2016, the communication with Coldwell Energy has been ongoing.
“They have called me and told me something needs to be addressed with my bill and that they are taking care of it. They also found that a couple of control units were not performing properly and they replaced them immediately. I didn’t have to do anything. It shows me that they really are monitoring and managing the system every day and they stand behind their product. Customer service is important to me and Coldwell might just deliver the best customer service I’ve experienced.”

“Coldwell Energy did everything they said they would do and set a new standard for integrity.”

Why Solar?

Holland Dairy implemented solar power to reduce energy costs and to invest in financial and environmental sustainability. With electricity bills north of $50,000 per month, the reduction in operating expenses was hard to ignore. At the same time, he sees his stewardship of the land as a high calling.

With multiple metered facilities spread across 750 acres, the Holland Dairy project was anything but simple. It was important that the solar power system, which would produce 1 MW of electricity, be built without disrupting business operations.

Why Coldwell Energy?

“The quality and attention to detail of their work was way beyond what anyone else presented. You can visit one of their projects and you won’t see a single wire–everything is covered and protected to perform for the long run. Coldwell Energy did everything they said they would do and set a new standard for integrity. It feels good to harvest energy from the sun, reduce our impact on the environment and to do it with good people. What also impressed me was the way Coldwell was able to work with the local utilities. The billing can be very complicated. They handled everything and whenever I had a question, someone would call me with the answer right away.”
