At 1.2 MW, the project is the world's largest solar electricity system on an industrial high-rise. Dependable executives celebrated the system's completion during a rooftop ceremony with a number of distinguished guests, including California State Senator Kevin de Leon.

The Dependable Companies is a 61-year old family-owned business encompassing six divisions. The organization provides full-service logistics services including trucking, warehousing and international freight movement for a host of major corporations in the U.S. and abroad. Dependable also strives to lead the industry in environmental stewardship, incorporating a variety of energy efficient practices and utilizing low-emissions vehicles to minimize its carbon footprint.

"By following our corporate mission ‘…to continue to earn a reputation for integrity, service and diversity that is unmatched in our industry,' we have grown from a one-truck operation in Los Angeles to a global player in the logistics industry. Today, we continue to innovate through our endeavors in environmental sustainability," said Ron Massman, CEO of The Dependable Companies. "We are excited to share this day with our colleagues, the local community and the project partners who brought our solar goals to life."

Additional speakers at the ceremony included representatives from Dependable's project partners – engineering, procurement and construction leader Premier Power, and high-quality module producer JinkoSolar.

"The unique optimization process we implement when designing, engineering and constructing our systems ensures The Dependable Companies' solar installation will achieve superior output over multiple decades, enabling the organization to power its facilities through a renewable resource while keeping an eye to its bottom line," said Dean R. Marks, CEO of Premier Power. "We congratulate Dependable for executing on this record-breaking project and look forward to working with the company for years to come."

"JinkoSolar and The Dependable Companies share a dedication to top-notch performance and environmental sustainability, and we're confident our modules will live up to the Dependable name, now and in the future," said Arturo Herrero, Chief Marketing Officer for JinkoSolar. "We are proud to bring solar to the mainstream energy supply in America."
