Maxxair® and Solace, has made significant strides in its commitment to sustainability and environmental
responsibility by installing solar panels at its Wichita facility.
Earlier in 2024, the company undertook a major expansion of its facility, during which it installed an
impressive array of 72 solar cell panels. This ambitious project is a key component of RV Products'
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, aimed at reducing its carbon footprint and
promoting renewable energy sources.
The solar power system became operational in October 2024. Since then, it has been operational for
approximately one and a half months, during which it has already begun to make a substantial impact.
The newly established solar farm is now generating a substantial portion of the facility's total power
requirements. This development marks a significant milestone in RV Products' journey towards
sustainable energy solutions and reflects the company's dedication to integrating eco-friendly practices
into its operations.
“This is just one part of our efforts to utilize renewable energy sources,” said Rob Leach, division
president for RV Products. “We’ve installed LED lights throughout the facility and are also looking at
filling our own propane tanks to reduce the waste of dumping cylinders. At RV Products, we are
dedicated to investing in innovation and sustainability to help elevate the RV industry.”
Leach also emphasized, "For over five decades, we have been a proud member of the Wichita
community, continuously innovating and investing in our shared future. Our new solar panels represent
not just a leap forward in sustainable technology, but also our unwavering commitment to supporting
the community that has supported us since 1967. We are excited to bring cleaner energy solutions to
Wichita, reinforcing our dedication to both environmental stewardship and local growth."
