In
2002 and 2003 Whole Foods added Solar Panels
to the roofs of three stores:
1) Woodland Hills (largest solar array on
a grocery store in the US)
2) 3rd and Fairfax in Los Angeles
3) Brentwood
Each
project benefited from solar energy rebates
given by LADWP and SoCal Gas. Each installation
was done by California Associated Power under
the supervision of Mike Cullen (818)957-8961.
All the Solar Panels were assembled by Shell
Solar at their Chatsworth, California plant.
Each store has a "solarbration"
sign at the front of the store, which shows
the amount of solar energy being created on
their roof.
