About the Project

With Steves and Sons commitment to environmentally responsible practices, they wanted to invest solar. They partnered with Big Sun Solar to install solar carports at their flea market location on the Southside of San Antonio as part of the CPS Energy 5MW community solar program. The solar carports not only provide shade to the vendors at the flea market, Steves & Sons uses the solar power to offset energy usage for their business.

Savings per year

I think solar makes sense for all business but in particular, if you’re a multigenerational, family-owned business like Steves & Sons, we’re not going anywhere so investing in a 25 year program with CPS Energy in a city where we’ve set some deep roots, for us it makes sense to invest renewable energies that benefit not only us but also our community.
