British communications firm BT said Wednesday that it completed its solar photovoltaic system at the company's North American headquarters location in El Segundo.

The 2,862-module system is among the largest systems of its kind in Southern California, and will produce 15-20% of BT's current energy needs for the El Segundo offices and data center.

BT said it expects to generate about 1 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean, renewable electricity and reduce carbon emissions by 700,000 pounds (more than 316 metric tons) annually as well as decrease its overall power costs for the site in future years, helping the company fulfill its global goals for sustainability.
