Solar Panels
With almost 3,000 bifacial panels on our roof, our solar array is one of the largest private arrays in Iowa. This provides 44% of Homemakers annual energy needs, producing 1.8 million kW of energy every year. This was made possible by our project partner, 1 Source Solar. The solar panels cover over 250,000 square feet of space. Panels are installed on both the upper and lower level of Homemakers’ 215,000 square foot showroom roof, as well as part of their warehouse roof.
