Jason Scott Headshot

A St. Petersburg, Fla., Planet Fitness location unveiled a new 179-kilowatt solar array in a ceremony on Friday.

The array, made up of 536 panels, will reportedly reduce the gym’s monthly energy bill to zero, not including taxes, according to owner Doug Kuiken, who told the Tampa Bay Times that previous energy bills were costing the gym more than $4,000 each month. In addition, the array will reportedly make the building a net-zero structure, meaning that it will produce at least as much total energy as it uses.
