RV Products, a division of Airxcel that includes Coleman-Mach, Maxxair and Solace, has made significant strides in its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility by installing solar panels at its Wichita, Kansas, facility.
Earlier in 2024, the company undertook a major expansion of its facility, during which it installed an array of 72 solar cell panels. This project is a key component of RV Products’ Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives, aimed at reducing its carbon footprint and promoting renewable energy sources.
The solar power system became operational in October 2024. Since then, it has been operational for approximately one and a half months, during which it has already begun to make a substantial impact. The newly established solar farm is now generating a substantial portion of the facility’s total power requirements. This development marks a significant milestone in RV Products’ journey toward sustainable energy solutions, and reflects the company’s dedication to integrating eco-friendly practices into its operations.
“This is just one part of our efforts to utilize renewable energy sources,” said Rob Leach, division president for RV Products. “We’ve installed LED lights throughout the facility and are also looking at filling our own propane tanks to reduce the waste of dumping cylinders. At RV Products, we are dedicated to investing in innovation and sustainability to help elevate the RV industry.”
Leach also emphasized, “For over five decades, we have been a proud member of the Wichita community, continuously innovating and investing in our shared future. Our new solar panels represent not just a leap forward in sustainable technology, but also our unwavering commitment to supporting the community that has supported us since 1967. We are excited to bring cleaner energy solutions to Wichita, reinforcing our dedication to both environmental stewardship and local growth.”
