An IKEA store in West Sacramento, California, recently unveiled its new 65,000 square-foot solar array that powers 573 kilowatts, reports the Sacramento Business Journal.
According to the news provider, officials with the company have said that the array could help reduce the emission of at least 630 tons of carbon dioxide per year, which is equal to more than 100 cars.
The officials added that the array in the West Sacramento store marks the eighth such solar project to be completed by the company thus far in the U.S. Four other stores in California are reportedly in the planning stages for new solar arrays as well, the news source said.
"We at IKEA believe in the never-ending job of striving to improve the sustainability of our day-to-day business," Heine Roikjer, manager of the the West Sacramento IKEA store, said in a statement. "The IKEA co-workers in West Sacramento are excited to help contribute to this goal with our newly operational solar energy system."
PV-Tech reports that some of the other locations that have already installed solar systems include Brooklyn, New York, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
