Eco Factor: Solar installations to generate 1.5MW of renewable power annually.
Chip giant Intel announced plans to build seven new solar projects across four U.S. states in January. The company has now stated that installations at Folsom in California and Chandler in Arizona are now up and running. The solar plants that consist of ground and roof-mounted solar facilities generate a combined output of 2.8MW – enough to power 900 American homes.
The Folsom installation is Intel’s biggest solar site to date and the largest non-industrial solar plant in the district. Spanning 5.5 acres, the plant produces more than 1.5MW of power. The other Chandler solar roof plant will generate about 10 percent of the building’s energy peak demand.
