Facilities and sustainability

Sussman Architectural Products operates from an approximately 80,000 square foot facility in Jamaica, New York, where it has been located for over 40 years.

In 2010, the company installed a solar photovoltaic array designed to offset 100% of its electrical energy load. The system uses hundreds of solar panels and a large inverter and was designed to produce on the order of 140,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. As a result, the facility is powered entirely by solar electricity during normal operation.
