Chase Bank/Polaris office complex in Columbus Ohio recently put solar panels over the 15 acre parking lot.

A bank required 15 acres to cover 80% of their electrical needs for lights, computers, a coffee machine, a microwave at lunch, and little else.

Try that for a business with washing machines, hot water heaters, elevators, escalators, electric ovens, air compressors, power tools, etc. Forget about a welder or a even a 220v floor buffer.

This building has 13,000 employees.
The facility—¼ mile from end to end—houses approximately 13,000 employees in a space equal in square footage to the Empire State Building. At 2 million square feet (190,000 m2), it is the largest JPMorgan Chase & Co.
