FedEx's Solar System

No, not a set of planets, but a private power grid. Reuters reports that FedEx is set to build the second-largest private solar power system in Oakland, California. At 904 kilowatts, it will supply 25% of FedEx's annual power requirements at its shipping hub at Oakland Airport. It will use 5,800 panels, covering 81,000 square feet, and should be operational by this coming May. The FedEx press release has a few more details.
