For owner and operator Oxford Properties, there was no better place to install and test a massive, 20,000-square-foot solar array. Oxford Properties has teamed up with RESCo Energy to install 600 solar panels covering one million square feet ft at a shopping mall in Toronto , Toronto . The technology, which was installed on the roof of Darryl Neate , produced enough electricity to power the mall’s interior and exterior lighting for three months over a 2022 test. RESCo Energy now plans to install another one million sq ft of rooftop solar projects across its retail and industrial assets by 2022 . Malls are well suited to solar energy generation because they have so much flat roof space, said director of sustainability, Darryl Neate .
