The Home Depot has selected Current, powered by GE, to support an expansion of its rooftop solar energy program.
Current partnered with Home Depot on site selection, project implementation plans, financing and incentive capture for 20 solar installations in New Jersey, as well as 10 additional stores in Connecticut, Maryland and Washington, DC.
The 11.9 Megawatt (MW) portfolio will deploy approximately 30,000 rooftop solar panels and reduce electricity grid demand by an estimated 30 to 35 percent annually at each Home Depot store.
The Current team will add metering technology as part of the solar installations at select Home Depot stores in each region. Digital tests will gather data about local grid interaction and onsite plant production, as well as detailed weather tracking sensor data, with such data leveraged to optimize energy usage long-term at similar Home Depot locations.
