Zyxel Transitions To Solar Power

Anaheim-based hardware developer Zyxel Communications, the developer of broadband networking hardware, says it has transitioned to use solar power at its North American headquarters. According to Zyxel, it just installed a new, 200 kW solar power system at its headquarters, which it expects to generate enough power to supply 90 percent of its power in Anaheim. Zyxel has a 36,500 square foot, two-building facility in Anaheim, which includes sales and marketing, technical support, production, quality control, product repair, logistics, and warehousing. Zyxel did not say how much it invested in the solar power system, but it says the system is part of an "aggressive" program to reduce its carbon footprint and improve energy efficiencies. The firm also has replaced its air conditioning system, tinting windows for temperature control, and other energy efficiency updates. Zyxel is a developer of fiber and DSL broadband equipment, Ethernet switches, Wi-Fi routers, as well as smart home devices and other products.
