An Irvine office campus is adding a mega-solar project atop its roofs and car canopies in addition to a battery array.

MetLife Investment Management is working with DSD Renewables to install the 2.2-megawatt solar project and 510 kWh battery storage system at Intersect, on behalf of property owners PGGM and MetLife.

MetLife and DSD estimate the solar project will generate more than 3.5 million kWh of energy annually, which should provide for 74% of Intersect’s required power. The battery system also will store excess electricity generated, supporting the grid by reducing peak demand.

The project at the campus along Von Karman Avenue near John Wayne Airport should be completed in 2025, MetLife said.
