Ford Motor Co. headquarters to install state's largest solar array

As the Beatles sing it, "Here comes the sun," to Ford Motor Co. headquarters, which will house the state's largest solar array.

Excerpt:

"The solar array  will also serve as a parking cover to 360 spaces, equipped with 30 charging stations for plug-in electric vehicles. These covered spaces will be available to all employees, Ford spokesman John Cangany said today...

The solar canopy will generate up to 1.038 megawatts of electricity -- enough juice for 158 homes annually -- and will be the largest solar array in Michigan. It will eliminate an estimated 875 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually."
