Bloomington, CA
The Verizon solar installation in Bloomington, CA, represents a pinnacle of technical synergy between two industry leaders. As a global telecommunications giant, Verizon requires an unwavering, high-capacity power supply to maintain the critical infrastructure that keeps the world connected. In March 2022, Stellar Solar Commercial successfully activated a massive 327kW (DC) solar array at Verizon’s Bloomington facility, turning an expansive industrial roof into a high-output power plant.
Operating a high-stakes telecommunications hub requires a sophisticated understanding of electrical loads and 24/7 reliability. For the Bloomington project, Verizon selected Stellar Solar Commercial to design and deploy a system that met the most rigorous industrial standards.
The technical architecture of this 327kW system includes:
-994 SunPower Modules: Widely considered the gold standard in the industry, SunPower panels were selected for their industry-leading efficiency and durability. These high-output modules ensure that Verizon captures the maximum amount of energy possible from every square foot of roof space.
-16 Industrial Inverters: To manage the massive power conversion required for a facility of this scale, we utilized a distributed 16-inverter configuration. This design ensures system redundancy and granular monitoring, allowing for peak performance even in the demanding Inland Empire climate.
-Strategic Integration: Placed into service on March 22, 2022, the system was engineered to integrate seamlessly with Verizon’s existing electrical infrastructure without disrupting sensitive communications equipment.
Located in Bloomington, this facility is situated in one of the highest solar-yield regions in California. By capturing the intense sunshine of the Inland Empire, Verizon has effectively neutralized a significant portion of its operational overhead. In the 2026 energy landscape, where industrial utility rates continue to climb, the foresight of this 2022 installation has transformed from a sustainability initiative into a high-yield financial asset.
For a data-heavy organization, cooling and equipment power are constant, non-negotiable expenses. This 327kW array provides a permanent hedge against inflation and utility rate hikes, allowing Verizon to lock in predictable energy costs for decades. It is a premier example of how “Fortune 500” companies can leverage their physical real estate to improve both their bottom line and their environmental legacy.
Since 1998, Stellar Solar Commercial has been the preferred partner for California’s most demanding commercial and industrial clients. Our 28-year history is built on a foundation of technical “know-how” and a commitment to quality that is essential for mission-critical facilities.
Our in-house team handles the entire lifecycle of these 100kW+ projects—from initial structural analysis and soil reports to navigating complex utility interconnection and local permitting. We specialize in working within “live” environments where maintaining operational continuity is the top priority during the construction phase.
As we move through 2026, the strategy for corporate energy has evolved to include Solar + Battery Storage. For telecommunications providers, the addition of large-scale battery systems provides an extra layer of resilience, allowing hubs to maintain critical operations during grid instability or peak pricing events.
Stellar Solar Commercial remains at the forefront of this transition, helping California’s business leaders design and deploy the energy infrastructure of the future. We provide the expertise needed to turn high utility bills into long-term capital savings.
