Best Buy installs rooftop community solar project on New York store
Utility Dive · Jul 20
What happened
Best Buy has completed a rooftop community solar project at its store in Long Island City, New York. The site marks the company's first retail location to host a rooftop community solar installation. The retailer also added solar generation capacity near a distribution center in California.
Why it matters
Commercial rooftop hosts represent a key site-acquisition vector for community solar developers in constrained urban markets like New York. Developers should watch whether major national retailers scale similar host-site models across their real estate portfolios.
