General Motors is partnering with DTE Energy to build a new 800-kilowatt solar array at its Warren Transmission plant that will be GM's largest solar installation in Michigan.

"By supporting this project and making renewable energy commitments globaly, we will surpass our goal to promote 125 megawatts of clean power by 2020,"  said Rob Threlkeld, GM global manager of renewable energy. "This new array, along with our solar array at the nearby GM Technical Center in Warren, makes GM's commitment to clean energy visible to the Warren community.

The 2,800 solar panels will generate clean electricity that will go back to the grid. DTE Energy will own the array on 4.25 acres of land leased from GM. Warren Transmission builds front-wheel drive transmissions for a variety of GM's most-popular cars, crossovers and SUVs, as well as the drive unit for the new 2016 Chevrolet Volt.

The solar array will generate approximately 1 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year, the energy equivalent to powering the annual electricity needs of about 135 homes in southeast Michigan.
