April 5th, 2012 - Kendall-Jackson today unveiled the nation’s largest rooftop solar cogeneration system at our main winery. We partnered with Cogenra Solar, which developed this transformative technology and installed the 96-module hybrid array.

To maximize efficiency the whole system pivots to keep aligned with the angle of the Sun as it arcs through the sky during the course of the day. read more>>>
