The IKEA Stoughton Solar Project features an iinnovative ground and garage canopy system in its expansive parking area, maximizing the use of available space to generate clean energy while providing functional benefits. This 2 MW solar canopy installation comprises a network of photovoltaic panels mounted above the parking lot, generating approximately 2.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually—enough to power an additional 220 homes. Beyond clean energy production, the canopy offers shade and protection for customers' vehicles from the elements, enhancing the shopping experience. Together with the rooftop solar array, the ground canopy system positions IKEA Stoughton as a leader in sustainability, showcasing how businesses can creatively integrate renewable energy solutions into their operations while serving their communities.

Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), one of the nation’s leading healthcare institutions, recently undertook a transformative initiative to integrate renewable energy into its operations. The project aimed to reduce the hospital's environmental footprint while maintaining its unwavering commitment to patient care and operational excellence. The MGH Solar Project has delivered impressive results since its commissioning: This solar array consists of 1,200 480-watt solar panels to help save the hospital approximately $75,000 in electricity costs annually. The garage canopy PV system is expected to generate 597,838 kilowatt-hours in its first year of production. The electricity produced will reduce the pollution equivalent to taking 105 gasoline cars permanently off the road and will produce enough electricity to power 60 average US households per year.
