IKEA has developed some innovative green designs over the years, but now the home furnishings retailer has the distinction of having the largest photovoltaic array in the state of Michigan. The 122,200-square-foot PV array was officially plugged-in today, and consists of a 977.6-kW system built with 4,160 panels. Installed at the Detroit-area store in Canton, the array will produce approximately 1,114,943 kWh of clean electricity annually — that’s the equivalent of reducing 769 tons of carbon dioxide, or the annual emissions of 151 cars or 96 homes.
