Following up Kohl’s plans to install solar panels on its buildings, they recently flipped the switch and turned on the Laguna Niguel Kohl’s location. This roll out is just the milestone in the building of solar electric systems at 63 of Kohl’s 80 California locations. Keep in mind Kohl’s operates 834 stores in 46 states, but has not yet announced plans to roll out solar to all its other store locations. To put this into perspective of how much solar Kohl’s plans to install. In total, more than 138,000 solar panels are expected to be used when Kohl’s solar installations are complete in 2008. Once finished, Kohl’s solar installations will generate more than 35 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of renewable energy annually, the equivalent of powering about 3,087 California homes.
