While we despise Wal-Mart for it’s anti-American practice of importing billions of dollars of products, (and exporting the manufacturing jobs that go with them), instead of sticking to Sam’s original premise of only buying American – we do have to give credit where it’s do as Wal-Mart adds solar products to it’s stores in California.
Sam’s Club, (the wholesale division of Wal-Mart), is teaming up with Borrego Solar Systems, Inc., a leading designer and installer of solar electric power systems, and BP Solar, a leading provider of photovoltaic solar panels, to provide in-store informational kiosks to promote the long-term benefits of solar energy. The display explains how solar power works, the design and installation process, how much energy can be saved, the typical cost of a system and all available incentives and rebates. Through this partnership, purchasers are also entitled to a significant discount on the cost of their solar energy system, saving an average of $500 or more in addition to receiving all applicable federal, state and local rebates and tax credits.
It’s a small step but we have to give credit where it’s due…
