Solar Electricity - Perdue Solar Installation




On October 7th 2011 Perdue will host an open house for Maryland dignitaries and executives to reveal the second phase of a solar installation at its corporate headquarters in Salisbury, Maryland. The installation is Perdue's latest initiative supporting its commitment to being environmentally friendly. Combined with the previous installation at the Bridgeville facility, both systems will generate a combined average of 3700 megawatt hours of electricity each year, or the amount of power used by 340 typical US homes. At peak production, the panels will produce as much as 90 percent of the electrical demand for each Perdue facility.
