Solar Panels on Warehouse Rooftops - Genius!
A friend slipped this press release to me today. ProLogis, "the world's largest owner, manager and developer of distribution facilities" is allowing the Southern California Edison utility company rooftop space to house photovoltaic (PV) panels. Not just a building here or there, but the initial phase will provide 607,000 square feet of rooftop space. After the project is all said and done the utility customers will have 250 megawatts of electricity being generated by these PV panels. Kudos to ProLogis for using that empty rooftop space to perpetuate a renewable energy source. Now I wonder if ProLogis has any warehouses in Colorado and if Xcel Energy would be willing to embark upon a similar agreement?
