JCPenney Going Solar

A 2 MW (megawatts) solar power system has been installed on fine JCPenney stores in New Jersey. The system was installed by Integrys Energy Services Inc., and Sunpower Corp. This is a step towards fullfilling JCPenney's commintement of installing 3.7 MW of solar power systems on its stores in California and New Jersey.


Each system in New Jersey is owned and operated by Integrys Energy Services Inc. under a SunPower Access power purchase agreement.

JCPenney is also doing some work on each of its stores to increase energy efficiency. The solar power system is expected to cover 25 percent of the energy demand of each store.
