California Kohl’s store turns on giant rooftop solar system
September 28, 2007 – 9:47 amFiled under: Misc. Gadgets
The Laguna Niguel Kohl’s location certainly isn’t the first notable venue in California to benefit from a large solar panel installation, but this particular setup is being dubbed the “largest planned US photovoltaic solar rollout to date.” Reportedly, Kohl’s Department Stores is planning on equipping 63 of its 80 California locations with solar electric systems, which should total “approximately 25 megawatts,” and upon completion, the program would “represent approximately 15-percent of California’s photovoltaic installations to date.” Granted, the US Tesco building’s solar roof may still hold the crown (at least for now) for “world’s largest,” but Kohl’s is hoping to impress by “generating more than 35-million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of renewable energy annually” when its massive rollout is complete.
