And To Kohl's: THANK YOU!!!! May all the malls/shops take your cue and do the same!!!!!]]>Sep 27th 2007 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/

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. ]]>Sep 27th 2007 6:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/
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".]]>Sep 27th 2007 7:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/Sep 27th 2007 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/
The second is durable cells which totally replace traditional roofing materials on a home. If home builders can start building the entire roof out of solar cells and this is combined with a price drop that makes it so that the difference between a solar roof and a traditional roof can be paid off in 5 to 10 years a lot of home builders, and owners would be willing to replace their homes roof with a solar roof.]]>Sep 27th 2007 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/Sep 27th 2007 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/Sep 27th 2007 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/
I thought the story was going to talk about how shoppers would be able to look upwards to see our solar system being projected on the ceiling.

Silly reader. A rooftop and a ceiling are two different things.

Guess I won't be buying that Kupier belt after all.]]>Sep 27th 2007 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/Sep 27th 2007 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/Sep 27th 2007 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/Sep 27th 2007 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/Sep 27th 2007 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/27/california-kohls-store-turns-on-giant-rooftop-solar-system/http://www.epa.gov/greenpower/partners/top25.htm
