SunSetter Has Gone Green

Your SunSetter Products are made with help from the Sun!

To lower our use of fossil fuels, reduce our carbon footprint, and do our part to slow global warming, SunSetter Products installed 616 solar panels on the roof of our Malden, Massachusetts manufacturing facilities. Each panel is 16.5 square feet, giving our roof over 10,000 square feet of solar collection capability.

We Produce a Third of our Electrical Needs

These photovoltaic collectors generate over 138,000 KWH (kilowatt hours) annually, which is about 35% of SunSetter's annual electrical need. When our manufacturing facilities are closed, the panels continue to operate and return their electrical generation back to the national grid.

As a SunSetter Products owner, you can be proud that your awning or EasyShade solar screen was manufactured with help from the sun, environmentally beneficial technology, and our common desire to help protect the planet. The energy savings don't stop once our products leave the factory, see how SunSetter awnings and EasyShades can help you save energy.

Lighting Upgrade Saves Electricity Costs — and Saves You Money Too.

SunSetter Products has worked to upgrade its lighting fixtures to a more energy efficient system, which reduced our electricity usage by 18%. This upgrade along with all of our efforts to save energy directly benefit you — they help us keep manufacturing costs down. Reduced manufacturing costs help keep the costs of our products down and these savings are directly passed on to you in the form of savings on SunSetter Products.

We Believe In Recycling

We recycle scrap aluminum in cooperation with our suppliers as well as offering a company-wide recycling program. We recapture office paper, cardboard, boxboard, glass bottles and cans to lessen the burden on our landfills.
