July 23, 2014: IKEA Completes Near-Doubling of Solar Array on Distribution Center
Solar Array is Largest in Maryland and One of the Largest in US
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. — IKEA has officially plugged-in an expansion of the solar rooftop array on its Perryville, Maryland, distribution center. The company said installation of the new solar panels nearly doubles the size of the original project, which already was the state’s largest rooftop array.
The 467,618-square-foot solar addition is a 2.2-MW system, built with 7,337 modules, and will produce 2,695,355 kWh of electricity annually. Including the existing system, the distribution center’s total 4.9-MW solar installation of 25,913 panels now will generate 6,092,533 kWh of clean electricity yearly.
