PLYMOUTH - Comcast just completed construction of a large solar installation at its regional call center in Plymouth that will power 95 percent of the facility’s energy consumption – while charging your car.

The 1,170-panel solar system covers the roof of a carport at the back of the site, located at 35 Resnik Road in the Plymouth Industrial Park. The installation generates as much as 600,000 kilowatt hours of power annually.

The carport also includes two dual-port electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Up to four vehicles at once can be charged beneath the solar panel canopy. Residents are welcome to charge their electric vehicles at the site.

"Technology, innovation and talent are at the core of everything Comcast does, and generating clean energy on site at our Plymouth facility demonstrates our commitment to a culture of sustainability to promote a cleaner, healthier environment," said Tracy Pitcher, senior vice president of Comcast’s Greater Boston Region.

Comcast worked with solar energy company Sunpower to install the parking lot-based solar array. The carport solar system also provides covered parking spots for employees during inclement and hot weather conditions.

"I commend Comcast for its focus on sustainable technology," said Ken Tavares, chairman of the Plymouth Select Board. "I hope this investment in clean energy will provide inspiration to others and give them the push they need to dedicate resources to sustainability in our community."

The solar project is the latest in an ongoing series of sustainability efforts implemented by Comcast. The company also converted its Plymouth facility to LED lighting, delivering increased efficiency and saving more than 200,000 kilowatt hours of power usage annually.

"Our sustainability efforts also touch the products and experiences we offer our customers," Pitcher said. "We have made it a priority to provide the most innovative services in the home and extend energy efficiency options as an added benefit."
