The agreement, which builds on a similar 15MW agreement between the two companies last year, will enable Casino to turn under-utilized roof space and parking area into power plants to produce renewable electricity and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
SunPower will supply Casino with its E19 Series solar panels, which offer an efficiency of 19% or greater. The modules feature larger and powerful all-back contact solar cells that deliver 3% more surface area per cell, boosting panel efficiency by reducing unutilized space, SunPower said.
The combined 35MW agreement will result in solar power systems at 18 of Casino’s properties, on rooftops and parking lots. In-store monitoring displays at Casino’s facilities with solar power systems will provide customers and employees with information on how much solar power is being generated on site.
