Coyote Valley Casino & Hotel, located on the Coyote Valley Reservation in Redwood Valley, California, has completed a 2.23-MW solar carport system. The system, developed by Watthub Renewables and constructed by SunRenu Solar, has a PPA through Sunrock Distributed Generation with no upfront capital investment from the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians.

The project includes a 1,411-kW solar carport installation across the casino’s parking areas. A second 817.5-kW system at the Coyote Valley Hotel supplies power to the adjacent Tribal Council offices, a convenience store and wastewater treatment facility. The system, featuring JA solar panels and CPS inverters, is expected to generate approximately 3,472 MWh of electricity annually – around 45% of the site’s energy use – delivering more than $450,000 in estimated first-year savings for the Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians.
