Last month, Comcast installed a 760-panel rooftop solar system at its University Heights multi-purpose facility. The installation is part of the telecomms giant’s initiative to invest in more sustainability efforts.

Comcast’s new solar system is expected to reduce 272 metric tons of CO2 regionally, which is “as much as 385 megawatt-hours of energy annually, or the equivalent of 37 homes’ worth of electricity,” the company shared in a press release. The telecomms giant worked with Hanover, Maryland-based Maicom, designer and builder of networking facilities and data centers, to install its new solar panels.
