Alder Energy worked with solar developer Plankton Energy to provide Tanger Outlets with a commercial solar solution for its North Charleston mall. The arrays span multiple rooftops and carport canopy structures, totaling 2.3 MW DC (2,302 kW). This commercial solar project contributed to Tanger’s broader sustainability initiatives, which include expanding on-site solar infrastructure across its properties to reduce carbon emissions and increase renewable energy use.
