Riverside, CA
Bosstick JetBed is a global leader in high-end aviation comfort, specializing in custom-engineered sleep systems for the world’s most elite private and corporate jets. Operating a precision manufacturing and design facility in Riverside, California, requires a constant, high-quality flow of electricity to power specialized industrial sewing equipment, pneumatic tools, and advanced climate control for material preservation. In October 2022, Bosstick JetBed partnered with Stellar Solar Commercial to implement a high-performance 29.1kW (DC) rooftop solar strategy, aligning its manufacturing operations with a commitment to sustainable innovation.
Designing a solar solution for a precision manufacturing facility requires a sophisticated understanding of industrial electrical loads and long-term hardware durability. Stellar Solar Commercial engineered a robust rooftop system designed to maximize energy yield within the facility’s footprint, utilizing advanced bifacial technology to harvest more energy per square foot.
The technical architecture of the Bosstick JetBed installation features:
-60 Hanwha Q.PEAK DUO XL-G10.3/BFG 485W Modules: These high-density, 485W bifacial modules represent the cutting edge of industrial solar technology. By capturing sunlight from both the front and the back of the panel, these 60 modules “boost” total energy yield, providing a consistent and powerful stream of clean electricity to support the facility’s manufacturing demand.
-Yaskawa Solectria Solar PVI 25TL-480 Inverter: To manage the industrial-scale power conversion, we utilized a high-performance, three-phase 480V Yaskawa Solectria inverter. Known for its world-class reliability and efficiency, this inverter ensures that every kilowatt of the Riverside sun is effectively converted to power the facility’s mission-critical equipment.
-Strategic Industrial Offset: Placed into service on October 11, 2022, this system was precisely engineered to neutralize a significant portion of the company’s daily electrical load, providing a reliable hedge against rising Inland Empire utility costs.
For a high-end manufacturer in the 2026 energy landscape, where utility rates for Riverside commercial properties have reached historic highs, the transition to solar is a mission-critical double victory. By generating its own power on-site, Bosstick JetBed has effectively “locked in” its energy costs for the next two decades.
Every kilowatt-hour produced by the bifacial Hanwha array is a kilowatt-hour the company does not have to purchase from the utility at premium peak rates. This creates a permanent, predictable stream of capital savings that can be redirected toward:
-Product Research and Development: Investing in the next generation of lightweight, aerospace-certified sleep technology.
-Manufacturing Modernization: Enhancing the facility’s specialized equipment and diagnostic tools.
-Global Competitiveness: Protecting the company’s bottom line against future utility inflation for the next twenty years.
Since 1998, Stellar Solar Commercial has been the preferred partner for California’s most technically demanding manufacturing and industrial facilities. We bring over 28 years of engineering excellence to these high-stakes projects, navigating the unique structural and electrical requirements of industrial buildings while ensuring that daily operations remain undisturbed during the construction phase.
Our in-house team handles the entire lifecycle of the project—from initial structural analysis and electrical load profiling to navigating complex utility interconnection and state-specific incentive programs for small businesses. We specialize in “quiet-professional” construction, ensuring that the facility’s production schedule and safety remain the top priority throughout the project.
As we move through 2026, the strategy for specialized manufacturing centers has evolved to include Solar + Battery Storage. For organizations like Bosstick JetBed, adding a utility-scale battery system provides an essential layer of resilience, ensuring that critical data centers, security systems, and high-precision production lines remain fully operational even during regional power outages or grid instability.
Stellar Solar Commercial continues to lead this energy revolution, helping California’s business leaders build a resilient, low-cost energy future. We turn manufacturing rooftops into powerful tools for sustainability and financial success.
