Historical Solar Production
We’re celebrating our 10th year of solar installations at Extra Space! Over the last decade, we’ve been dedicated to our solar program, and we are seeing rewards for this effort. With half of our wholly-owned portfolio powered by solar, we’ve produced enough solar power to offset over 30 million pounds of coal burned or over 3 million gallons of gasoline consumed. Our solar efforts reduced our electricity while producing a great return, showing clearly how sustainability can be at the intersection of what’s good for the environment, the community and our shareholders.
