Giant credit union's $28 million complex bleeds solar

Florida’s largest credit union has the word “sun” in its name and a sun in its logo, so it would make sense for it to be a leader in harnessing the awesome power of our nearest star.

That’s exactly what Suncoast Credit Union, with more than $9 billion in total assets as of July 2018, has done with its new three-story administration building east of downtown Tampa. The complex boasts more than 1,200 photovoltaic panels on the roof capable of generating 401.28 kilowatts of electricity at peak-power capacity.
