IKEA to Double Size of Rooftop Solar Array on Its Centennial Store
Home furnishings retailer IKEA will increase the solar array atop its Denver-area store, which opened two years ago in Centennial. Installation of panels on the roof’s remaining space will begin in July, with completion expected by this fall.
Already the state’s largest single-use rooftop array on a commercial building, the project will become Colorado’s largest rooftop array of any use. The 83,700-sq-ft solar addition will consist of a 623-kW system built with 2,492 panels and will produce 961,000 kWh of electricity annually for the store.
