Veregy Partners with Valley Metro in Solar and Shade Project.

Solar and Shade Project a Huge Success

Veregy helps public agencies turn infrastructure upgrades into measurable energy and operational outcomes. We were proud to partner with Valley Metro to transform a bus shade canopy concept into a solar shade installation that delivers both fleet protection and on-site renewable generation. From the start, the team needed a solution that was cost-effective, reliable, and built to last, with an approach that fit the realities of a public budget.

Using deep solar delivery experience, we developed an integrated plan that elevated the original shade project into a solar-ready design without requiring additional capital beyond the existing budget. The site was converted from 76,000 square feet of exposed concrete into 3,528 solar panels, producing 1.24 megawatts of clean power and providing shade for 140 buses. The result supports long-term energy savings, improved asset protection, and progress toward sustainability goals for the transit system and the surrounding Mesa community.
