Walmart Uses Innovative Thin Film Solar Technology to Increase Renewable Energy Use
Walmart announced today it will expand its renewable energy efforts through lighter, lower cost thin film solar technology.
The company plans to add solar generating systems to another 20 to 30 sites in California and Arizona, and the majority of these locations will feature the new technology.
“By leveraging our global scale to become a more efficient company, we are able to lower our expenses and help develop markets for new technologies,” said Kim Saylors Laster, Walmart vice president of energy. “Developing and incorporating new renewable energy sources, like thin film, reduces energy price risk and aligns very well with our commitment to solving business challenges through technology.”
