LinkedIn Solar Installation
LinkedIn’s Midwest corporate headquarters campus in Omaha, Nebraska installed a carport solar array system in its parking lot and is one of the largest in the state. Morrissey Engineering provided electrical services on this project. LinkedIn expects the solar investment to lower operational carbon emissions by an estimated 400 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
