General Motors Co.'s assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio, is adding 8,500 solar panels to create an array that will begin generating 2.2 megawatts of power by the end of this year.
GM says the system will avoid the equivalent of about 2,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
The Lordstown array will join a 1.8-megawatt solar installation completed a year ago on the roof of GM's transmission plant in Toledo. The company says it is on schedule to deploy 125 megawatts of renewable energy capacity worldwide by the end of 2015.
