SoCore Energy Turns On Its Biggest Solar Installation

SoCore Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Edison International, has completed its largest commercial rooftop installation at the FedEx Ground hub in Hagerstown, Maryland. The 2.7 megawatt (MW) system features more than 8,000 solar panels and produces enough solar power to prevent over 5 million pounds of carbon dioxide from traditional electricity generation sources from entering the environment annually.

 
The 590,000-square-foot FedEx Ground hub, which recently completed a 150,000-square-foot expansion, employs more than 900 people.
 
On Friday, April 10, SoCore and FedEx Ground hosted a solar dedication ceremony to celebrate the installation, during which executives from both companies flipped a celebratory switch, officially activating the solar installation.
