Walking On The Sun

In 2005, FedEx went solar by installing a 904-kilowatt photovoltaic system on the Oakland Hub in California. It took 300,000 solar cells developed by Sharp installed into 5,769 photovoltaic modules to cover the 81,000 square foot area roof. At peak output, the solar-electric system installed by Berkeley-based PowerLight Corporation, can produce the equivalent power used by more than 900 homes during the daytime. In addition to generating electricity, the solar panels will help insulate the buildings, further reducing heating and cooling costs.
