A 1.7-MW solar installation from SunPower is now fully operational at Bose Corporation’s headquarters in Framingham, Massachusetts. SunPower designed, constructed, financed and will operate and maintain the fixed-tilt, ground-mount system along the southern hillside of what is commonly known as “The Mountain.”
Nearly 4,000 high-quality SunPower solar panels are expected to generate 2.4 million kWh of energy annually, bringing enough electricity onto the grid to supply a substantial portion of the Bose campus through a 20-year power purchase agreement.
“Corporate renewable energy programs are growing, especially in Massachusetts where Bose is headquartered,” said Nam Nguyen, SunPower executive vice president, commercial solar. “We’re proud to be working with Bose to further advance solar development in the Commonwealth, and to support the company’s commitment to long-term sustainability as a leading global brand.”

Hi Kelly,
I am researching solar panel installations and wonder how many acres the Bose installation covers. From the picture it looks like about 1-2 acres. Any information you have will be helpfull as well as any reference names at either Bose or Sunpower who may have knowledge of the product.
I am also wondering if you know if each panel is an industry standard size, e.g. length and width, or do they vary widely.
I am grateful for any further information you may provide,
Best Regards,
