Yaskawa – Solectria Solar will supply its SGI 500XTM three-phase, central inverters to Helix Electric for a 1.14 MW solar project for IKEA in Las Vegas.
This installation will be Nevada's largest retail solar array and will be commissioned in spring 2016, before the official store opening in summer 2016.
The rooftop PV system will cover 240,504 square feet and consist of 3,620 modules. It is expected to generate approximately 1.75 GWh of electricity per year.
‘We are excited about furthering our sustainability commitment with solar panels on our future Las Vegas store,’ says Lars Petersson, president of IKEA U.S.
