GE will set up solar power generation systems across the United States, which can save 10% of electricity consumption

Current Current, a new energy division of mechanical and electrical industry giant GE, announced that it will set up solar power systems in 18 sites in 12 states (including Puerto Rico), which is expected to save 10% of electricity consumption and up to $70 million in electricity bills
during 20 years of operation.

Current pointed out that the 18 new solar power systems that will be added in the United States include ground-based systems, roof-type systems and carports
.
Among them, a carport in New York State will be the largest solar carport
in the United States.
These solar energy is expected to generate 614 million kWh of electricity during its 20-year operation, equivalent to the electricity consumption of more than 55,000 households and reduce carbon emissions by about 89,000 cars
