About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

Darden Restaurants installed a 1.1 MW rooftop solar array at its Orlando, Florida headquarters (Restaurant Support Center) as part of ongoing sustainability efforts. The on-site renewable energy system generates electricity for the company's own operations, reducing Scope 2 emissions. It remains operational and is highlighted in recent company impact reports. Evidence: "Upon completion later this year, Darden's rooftop solar installation is expected to produce up to 1.9 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, equaling the average annual energy usage of approximately 163 homes while reducing carbon emissions by more than 1,300 metric tons annually." — https://investor.darden.com/news/news-details/2011/Darden-Furthers-Commitment-to-Sustainability-With-Solar-Panel-Installation-at-Headquarters-Facility-2011-8-22/default.aspx
