Petaluma, CA- California State Assembly Member Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) announced his monthly Sustainable 6 award to Solar Depot, LLC of Petaluma for their outstanding solar systems that help power thousands of homes and businesses.

“I’m honored to present this award to a company that completely embodies this award,” said Huffman. “We have just scratched the surface of this incredible technology and Solar Depot will help lead the way.”

In business for over 29 years, Solar Depot is a wholesale distributor and systems integrator of solar electric and solar thermal energy systems. Solar Depot is one of the largest and most experienced integrators of solar systems in the United States. The Company has designed and engineered thousands of solar energy systems for both residential and commercial applications.

Solar Depot began as a family-owned business, co-founded by long-time Marin County residents Anoosh and Kija Mizany, both of whom still work in the business. Solar Depot began selling solar water heating systems in the late 70’s, and continued to grow its business over the years to incorporate solar electric systems, which is now the mainstay of the business.

Solar Depot’s Corporate Headquarters is located in Petaluma, California, with branch facilities in Sacramento and Corona (Southern California), and employs a total of 40 people company-wide. Solar Depot’s Petaluma facility hosts a 12 kilowatt solar electric system, which supplies 70 percent of the facility’s energy needs.

Solar Depot designs and sells both Solar Electric (Photovoltaic) and Solar Thermal/Solar Water Heating (for both domestic hot water and pool heating) systems. They also offer their Sol-Gen solar electric systems as complete packaged systems.

“We are truly honored to receive this award,” said Anoosh Mizany, President of Solar Depot. “We firmly believe that a sustainable business is not only good for the environment but good for business, and we look forward to helping more businesses become more sustainable in their practices.”
