Home furnishings retailer IKEA has inaugurated a 1.014 MW PV installation at its Bloomington, Minn., store. According to the company, the 142,000 square-foot array, which features 4,316 modules, is the largest in Minnesota.
For the development, design and installation of the Bloomington store's customized solar power system, IKEA contracted with SoCore Energy.
This installation represents the 31st completed solar project for IKEA in the U.S., with eight locations underway, making the eventual U.S. solar presence of IKEA nearly 89% of its U.S. locations with a total generation of 38 MW.
