London Gold jewelry store realizes significant energy savings thanks to installation of rooftop solar panels.

Phoenix, AZ – January 13, 2011

Phoenix-based Cambio Energy has just announced the completed installation of a photovoltaic solar electric system at a London Gold jewelry store, one of the valley’s finest luxury jewelers. The solar electric system, containing 70 solar panels, is designed to offset the electricity consumption of the Scottsdale jewelry shop. It is estimated that the new system will save over 20 tons of CO2 annually, which equates to 2,300 gallons of gasoline and planting over 500 trees per year. “Famous for its more than 300 days of sunshine annually, Arizona is one of the best places on Earth to seize the value of sunlight,” says Dillon Holmes, president of Cambio Energy. “Any business that has not yet taken advantage of this renewable energy is simply wasting money and valuable natural resources.”
The installation of solar panels is one of several measures London Gold has taken to become more environmentally conscious. Last year, Cambio Energy replaced high wattage halogen light bulbs with energy-efficient LEDs at all three London Gold locations, resulting in a reduction of both lighting and air conditioning costs. David Ajami, Manager of London Gold’s Scottsdale store, claims the benefits of solar go beyond power savings. “Not only have we reduced our overall consumption of electricity, our customers appreciate our efforts to be more sustainable.”
Priding themselves on high quality of design and installation, Cambio Energy has made going green and investing in solar energy a perfect fit for Arizona businesses like London Gold. “Now is the best time ever to take advantage of generous government and utility incentives that make installing solar panels an extremely strong, no-risk business investment,” says Holmes.
Construction of a second London Gold solar energy system is due to begin shortly with the third location following soon after.
