IKEA has now completed the installation of a 200kW solar rooftop project at its Brooklyn-based store. Constructed over 19,000-square feet, with four different module types totaling 1,104 panels, the system is one of the largest commercial rooftop installations in the five boroughs. The 240,000kWh of renewable electricity generated annually will be used to power the store, reinforcing the IKEA commitment to sustainable business practice and carbon reduction.
“We are very excited about enhancing the sustainable contribution IKEA Brooklyn continues to make in the local community by generating electricity through solar panels atop our store,” said Mike Baker, store manager. “This initiative helps improve the environment and contributes to our vision of creating a better everyday life for the many.”
This system adds to IKEA US’s existing portfolio of solar installations, including those operational in Burbank, CA; Pittsburgh, PA and Tempe, AZ. The company also has renewable programs underway at seven locations in California and two other east coast stores in Paramus, NJ and Stoughton MA.
