The solar power systems will be implemented across the sites through rooftop solar, ground mount solar and elevated solar above existing ground-level parking spaces and garages. Several projects are underway and all sites are expected to be completed by the summer of 2011.

Arno Harris, CEO of Recurrent Energy, said: “These 16 solar power systems reaffirm the demand for distributed-scale projects, which can be aggregated to generate a significant amount of power. We have over 1GW of distributed-scale projects in development across North America and Europe, and this project reinforces the role that commercial and industrial rooftops can play in distributed-scale solar power deployment.”

John Kouletsis, director of strategy, planning and design at Kaiser Permanente, said: “Kaiser Permanente sees renewable and clean energy as a key part of our environmental and sustainability strategy.”
