Home furnishings retailer IKEA has activated a newly constructed solar energy system at its southwestern U.S. distribution center in Tejon, Calif. The 370,000 square-foot solar array consists of a 1.8 MW system designed and installed by REC Solar and built with 7,980 REC Group panels.
According to IKEA, this installation represents the second largest single-roof commercial system in the state, and the sixth largest in the nation. The company also hosts solar installations at several of its retail stores.
