The solar potential of warehouses and superstores explained

If all warehouses and superstores went solar, they could produce enough electricity to power the equivalent of 27 million households.

Solar energy in America is growing. In 2021, America produced enough solar energy to power 15 million homes – 15 times as much as we produced in 2012.

But given that solar could power our country many times over, we are still just barely scratching the surface of our solar potential. The sooner we tap that potential the better it will be for our health and our environment.

One of the best place to put the large scale solar that we’ll need is on existing rooftops. In the video below, I explain the rooftop solar potential of big box stores and warehouses.
