Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market said it has installed solar panels on the rooftops of 10 stores in Phoenix and one in Los Angeles.
According to Fresh & Easy, the systems, from REC Solar, San Luis Obispo, Calif., will produce 746,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually to meet approximately 20% of each store’s energy production needs - equivalent to reducing 26 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions or eliminating 38 million miles driven by cars over the next 25 years.
Each of the Phoenix stores also features an in-store display that reports real-time solar energy production while explaining to customers how solar energy systems work.
