Whole Foods and BP Solar dedicate solar energy roof

Whole Foods Market Inc., Austin, Texas, and BP Solar International LLC, Frederick, Md., celebrated the opening of a Princeton, N.J. Whole Foods store featuring a 126.7-kilowatt solar roof on Tuesday. The roof, powered by a BP solar array, produces approximately 15 percent of the store's energy, saving

Whole Foods more than $515,000 through a rebate with the New Jersey Clean Energy Program. The system was installed by Advanced Solar Products. BP Solar has plans to work with more companies to safely install solar products for customers. BP Solar also has plans to sell solar power systems directly to consumers through a partnership with The Home Depot.
