In 2010, SunPower installed a 1.2MW solar power system at the Bed Bath & Beyond® headquarters in Union, New Jersey. One decade later, with over 21MW of SunPower® solar deployed at 41 locations across six states, Bed Bath & Beyond is continuing to expand its commitment to renewable energy by adding a nearly 500kw SunPower system at its corporate office.
To date, the Bed Bath & Beyond 41 SunPower® systems have generated over 125 million kWh of clean, solar energy, offsetting over 88,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. This is equivalent to the carbon sequestered by 1.4 million tree seedlings grown for 10 years. Over their 25-year lifespan, it is expected that these solar projects will produce over 1 billion kWh.
"Bed Bath & Beyond continues to demonstrate a commitment to renewable energy for its business and the communities in which it operates, and we're proud to have them as such a visionary solar partner," said Nam Nguyen, SunPower Executive Vice President, Commercial Americas. "More corporations across the U.S. are choosing solar to cost-effectively meet electricity demand, and SunPower's complete solar solutions are designed to maximize value for these customers."
