Yes, convenient! This time it is good news!
Mega chains including Wal-Mart, Kohl’s, Safeway and Whole Foods Market have installed solar panels on roofs of their stores. They are racing to beat the Dec. 31st deadline to receive tax credits but in this case, I say run faster!
The NY Times reports that fewer than 10 percent of big chain stores have solar panels. But if Congress renews a favorable tax provision and more states offer incentives, the companies promise to put solar panels on almost 100% of their stores. Which is almost every store in the country.
