Kohl’s goes Green with huge Solar Power Array

kohl’sKohl’s stores in California are taking the plunge and installing huge solar arrays to power their stores.

63 of the 80 Kohl’s locations in California are to be included in what’s being called “the largest planned US photovoltaic solar rollout to date”.

The finished system should produce about 25 megawatts.

It’s great to see a company recognize not only the environmental, but financial benefits from alternative energy. No doubt those big box stores take up a lot of energy, expensive energy. This one-time investment will serve future cost savings.

Kohl’s hopes to generate more than 35-million kilowatt hours of electricity annually.
