Your SunSetter Awning is made with help from the Sun!

In an effort to lower our use of fossil fuels, reduce our "carbon footprint", and help in the effort to slow global warming, SunSetter Products has installed 616 solar panels on the roof of our manufacturing facilities in Malden, Massachusetts.

Each panel is 16.5 square feet, so the roof now has over 10,000 square feet of solar collection capability.

Produces a Third of our Electrical Needs, Plus...

These photovoltaic collectors, made here in Massachusetts by Evergreen Solar, will generate over 138,000 KWH (kilowatt hours) annually, which is about 35% of SunSetter's annual electrical need. On holidays and weekends, when our manufacturing facilities are closed, the panels continue to operate and return their electrical generation back to the national grid.

You can be proud, as a SunSetter Owner, that your awning was manufactured with help from the sun, with environmentally beneficial technology, and our common desire to help protect the planet. To see how SunSetter Awnings can help you save energy, click here.

Lighting Upgrade Should Save 50% in Energy Costs -- and Save You Money, Too.

SunSetter is currently upgrading to more efficient lighting systems in our facilities. We anticipate that the upgrades will result in a 50% savings in our energy usage for illumination.

All of our efforts to save energy directly benefit you, because they help us to keep our manufacturing costs down, which, in turn, helps keep the costs of our awnings down. We pass our savings directly on to you in the form of savings on SunSetter Products.

Recycling at SunSetter Products

We have a company-wide recycling program at SunSetter Products, in which we recapture office paper, cardboard, and boxboard. We are also trying to cut our overall paper usages. In addition, there are bottle and can collection bins at points throughout our plant.
