Commercial Rooftop Solar On Warehouses Could Power All Of Them
readers know there is war going on in which fossil fuel interests are straining every muscle and fiber to slow down the transition to renewable energy from rooftop solar, offshore wind farms, and battery storage installations. They don’t care a flying fig leaf about rising sea levels or deaths from air pollution.
Even though there are plenty of examples of solar and agriculture working harmoniously together — and providing guaranteed income to struggling farmers — these NIMBY nut jobs think they know better what to do with land thansays there are more than 450,000 warehouses in America. In total, they have nearly 16.4square feet of rooftop space that could be used for solar systems. “The rooftops of American warehouses built before 2019 have the potential to generate 185.
There are more benefits. Commercial rooftop solar will reduce the need for new utility scale generation and transmission infrastructure, while making the grid more resilient to outages and disruptions. California, Ohio, Illinois, Georgia, and Texas have the largest emissions reduction potential, the report states.If this makes so much sense, why is every warehouse owner in America not putting solar panels on the roof? There are a number of reasons.
Lowe’s has 208 million square feet of rooftop space available on all its stores. If all of its roofs were covered with solar panels, the company could generate 2,382.3 GWh of electricity per year — enough to power more than 223,000 homes.
