Visitors to the big box retailer may not realize that there’s a 554-kWdc solar energy system on the roof of The Home Depot’s Washington, D.C., store. The solar project, now the largest single rooftop array in the District, is expected to supply more than 9.9 million kWh of electricity to The Home Depot over a 15-year period, accounting for an anticipated 35-40% of the store’s annual energy use.
WTOP reports that the project at Home Depot’s Brentwood store is the first of several planned rooftop solar arrays for Home Depot on additional stores in Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties by the end of 2018.
