Johnson Manufacturing has operated in Woodland for over two decades. The current owner, Kirk Friedman, researched using solar energy extensively before deciding on North State Solar Energy for Johnson's installation. Kirk is a strong supporter of Made in America products and wanted to use the best technology available. His research indicated that the Enphase American Pride M 250, combined with the Solar World USA module would be the best long term choice.

The 51 KW DC system is intended to offset approximately 75-80 % of Johnson's historic energy usage. Total electrical energy cost at the facility prior to installation of solar energy was an approximate $24,000 annually.
The array is mounted on the main shop roof, and is oriented south using tilt legs to optimize the solar energy harvest. The micro inverter architecture allows for seamless integration of additional modules to expand the array if desired in the future.
