Hillcrest Plaza in Yuba City Adds Solar to Support Local Businesses

At Ethan Conrad Properties, we’re always looking for ways to improve the tenant experience while strengthening the long-term value of the properties we own and manage. That’s why we’re excited to share that a new solar energy system is now live at Hillcrest Plaza in Yuba City, California.

This project supports the businesses operating at Hillcrest Plaza by delivering cleaner, more reliable energy and helping reduce one of the most unpredictable operating expenses for commercial tenants: electricity.

A Solar Upgrade Designed for a Multi-Tenant Commercial Property

Hillcrest Plaza is a multi-tenant commercial property that serves a strong mix of local businesses and service-oriented tenants. With solar now installed and operating, the property is positioned to benefit from:

  • Cleaner, renewable energy

  • More stable, predictable utility costs

  • A more efficient and modern property infrastructure

  • Long-term asset value improvements

According to the project partner, the solar system is a 174.9 kW DC installation and is expected to produce approximately 267,685 kWh annually.

Why Solar Matters for Commercial Tenants

For many business owners, rising utility costs can create major budgeting challenges — especially in multi-tenant properties where businesses rely on consistent overhead planning.

Solar projects like this can help support tenants by contributing to:

  • Lower energy-related operating costs

  • Reduced cost volatility

  • A stronger, more resilient commercial property

At ECP, we believe that improvements like this are not only smart long-term investments — they also reflect our commitment to the communities where we own and operate.

Supporting Long-Term Value and Stronger Communities

In addition to helping tenants, projects like this strengthen the overall property by improving infrastructure and supporting long-term performance.

Solar continues to be one of the most practical upgrades for multi-tenant commercial properties across California, especially when implemented through the right partners and structured in a way that makes sense for ownership and operations.

Hillcrest Plaza’s new solar system is another step forward in our mission of building communities one space at a time.
