The installation also marks the 35th completed solar project for the company in the U.S., with four installations at four more locations now in progress.
\n<\/p>\n

The new photovoltaic array is a 1 MW system with 4,300 panels. It will produce 1,500,000-kilowatt hours of electricity annually, which is estimated to prevent the equivalent of 1,100 tons of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere. <\/p>\n

Combined with IKEA projects already completed on top of its stores in Orlando and Tampa, the company is now the state\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s largest non-utility solar power<\/a> owner. <\/p>\n

IKEA has installed 250,000 solar panels on its buildings around the world, and owns and operates 110 wind turbines in Europe. <\/p>\n
