One area business is going solar.
Solvita announced it has a new business deal with IGS Solar to create a large-scale panel installation. The 1.5 megawatt solar array will help power that nonprofit's tissue graft manufacturing center.
“We are using the sun as part of our long-term strategy to manage our use and expense of energy and demonstrate our commitment to helping solve problems and improving our world," Solvita CEO Christopher Graham said in a statement.
IGS will sell all the electricity the system produces to Solvita under a long-term power purchase agreement.
Solvita is in Kettering Research Park. The company said it will become the first major tissue bank in the world to use a solar array to power a portion of its operations.
By late 2025, it’s anticipated Project Sol Array will be generating power.
