    FedEx Ground, a unit of FedEx that ships small packages has collaborated with BP Solar to build a huge rooftop solar power generation unit. This project is situated in Woodbridge, New Jersey, at the company’s distribution hub. This power plant is supposed to be the nation’s largest solar rooftop installation. It consists of 12,400 solar panels spread over approximately 3.3 acres of roof-space. With the ability to generate 2.42 megawatts of power, this installation is estimated to satisfy about 30% of the total energy requirements of the entire facility.


    According to the terms of the collaboration, BP Solar would install and operate the plant and FedEx would buy the energy generated from it. FedEx sets an excellent example for other organizations to follow through this policy.
