The 38,000ft solar array consists of a 302kW system, built with approximately 1,344 panels.
IKEA East Palo Alto’s program will produce approximately 427,900kWh of clean electricity annually – the equivalent of reducing 326 tons of carbon dioxide.
IKEA contracted with Gloria Solar for the development, design and installation of the customized solar power system.
This project is the second IKEA installation in the 70,000 square-mile service area of PG&E.
The company said there currently are plans underway to install systems at five other IKEA locations in California as well as eight more in the eastern US.
Gloria Solar is the US operating group focused on the photovoltaic business within the family of E-Ton Solar Group.
