solar contractor, completed the design and installation of a 229-kilowatt
photovoltaic solar system at Hertz Corporation’s global headquarters building

of photovoltaic systems designed and installed by Martifer Solar USA at Hertz facilities

another element of our dedication to renewable energy. We are very pleased with
the outcome of this project and we commend Martifer Solar USA for their assistance
