10 such projects are now online, and once completed, the portfolio will cover 5M sq ft of roof space, provide 44 MW of solar capacity, deliver $36M total savings, and create 300 construction jobs. A great deal for Public Storage, as their only business is renting space & they rent the rooftops!

Solar on storage units? Here’s how Illinois is making it happen.
Illinois community solar incentives spurred plans to put 60 arrays on top of Public Storage facilities in the state. So far, 10 are online.
