Ok... this is great, this is awesome, more company's should do this.

What percentage of the individual stores power needs will be met via the solar power.

Because (and again: this is great, this is awesome, more company's should do this) if they're covering a TINY percentage of their needs and reaping HUGE PR points it kinda sucks.

As the article says, "Kohl's use of solar power will generate more than 35 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of renewable energy annually, the equivalent of powering an estimated 3,087 California homes."

So yeah, unless a Kohl's store uses the equivalnet electricity to several thousand houses, they're generating a heck of a lot more than "a TINY percentage of their needs".

3,087 CA homes / 63 Kohls stores = 49 CA Homes per Kohls store. It isn't out of the realm of reality that this is accurate. The massive heating/cooling/lighting of each store could be equivalent to 49 homes.
